Jesse and Tyler tied the knot in 2013 at a New York City wedding attended by more than 200 guests, including costars Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, and Eric Stonestreet. The two dated for two years, and Jesse proposed to Tyler in September 2012.

While announcing they had a second baby on the way, Jesse also used the occasion to address political issues important to him, referencing the tragic Uvalde school shooting and legislative threats to trans right and reproductive rights.

Jesse wrote, "Like the majority of people in this country right now, we are heartbroken at the attacks all over the country."

The Modern Family star said he's continuing to "raise funds for the incredible organizations on the ground fighting for LGBTQIA+ equality" through the non-profit he created alongside Justin, called Pronoun.

"We are so excited to have a little one joining our growing family — and so proud to support the choice to do it," Jesse concluded, thanking doctors for providing "the possibility to expand our family not once, but twice. We wouldn't be here without you!"
