Watch: Leslie Odom Jr. & Nicolette Robinson Enjoy Oscars Date Night

Parents' night out!

On Sunday, April 25, Leslie Odom Jr. and actress wife Nicolette Robinson gave a heartwarming update on their new baby, son Able Phineas. Per Nicolette, who starred in Broadway's Waitress, they've been "amazing" since welcoming their second child.

"He's the sweetest," Nicolette exclusively shared with E!'s Giuliana Rancic at the 2021 Oscars. "He's a dream baby. We're enjoying every second."

The couple also shares daughter Lucille. In fact, Leslie joked that they had a "glow" about them.

Furthermore, Nicolette revealed that this was their first date night since Able's birth back in March. Leslie added, "That's it! Date night, baby."

Earlier this month, Leslie took to social media to confirm that his second child with wife Nicolette arrived on March 25. "More life!" he wrote to his 800,000 Instagram followers at the time. "One whole week with our Abe. Watching Nicolette give birth to these kids...? Simply, the bravest acts I've ever witnessed from a foot away. I love you, sweetheart and I am in awe. Our little family bursts at the seams with joy! And gratitude."
