“[She’s] very cute,” the 43-year-old told Us Weekly exclusively at the First We Take Brooklyn premiere in New York City on Wednesday, February 7. “I saw her for one second and then I ran off to Miami because I’m just filming non-stop, so I saw her for one second in the hospital.”

Cheban presented the baby and her parents with a unique gift during his brief visit. “I bought her 20 boxes of pizza from Chicago because what else do you get her?” he said. “I think from Giordano’s, which is one of their favorite pizzas. I sent them a whole thing because everyone always sends flowers and it’s no fun.”

Cheban hasn’t had a chance to buy a present for Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott’s newborn daughter, Stormi, just yet, though. “I haven’t had a second,” he admitted to Us.

The 20-year-old Lip Kit creator, who chose to keep her pregnancy private, gave birth to Stormi on February 1.

With all of the new additions to the Kardashian-Jenner family, Cheban himself is starting to get baby fever. “I need to find someone to have kids of my own,” he told Us. “I had a girlfriend [Anat Popovsky] for three years but we broke up so now I’m back on the hunt. … I want to have a kid in two years. I have a deadline.”

First We Take Brooklyn opens in theaters on Friday, February 9 and was directed by Danny A. Abeckaser.
