Congratulations are in order for Ballers stars Dulé Hill and Jazmyn Simon, who just announced the birth of their son.
Their precious baby boy, Levi Dulé Hill, made his way into the world on Friday, May 10. The actors confirmed the news to PEOPLE, along with the baby’s first photos.
“We are sleep deprived,” Hill told the magazine. “Especially Mom, who is breastfeeding! But we are so in love and full of gratitude and awe of this miraculous moment in time.”
Hill gushes about the moment his son came into the world. “The baby was breech, so we had a [cesarean] section,” he says. “Right before Levi was born, our doctor said, ‘In 15 seconds, you’re going to meet your son.’ And we did. And instantly, our hearts doubled in size.”
The new parents are basking in every single moment with their newborn, saying, “Every time we blink, he seems to change. We smile and cry a lot, realizing how desperately we needed someone we had never met.”
Simon, who is already a mom to her 14-year-old daughter Kennedy, has been documenting some of the highs and lows of her pregnancy via Instagram. During her first trimester, she suffered from Hyperemesis Gravidarum – a condition during pregnancy that causes extreme nausea and dizziness. The constant sickness sent her into a severe prenatal depression.
Thankfully, Simon and Hill withstood this trying journey and now have a beautiful blessing in exchange.
Congratulations to the new parents!
