Galecki, 44, and his girlfriend, Alaina Meyer, welcomed their first child together in December 2019 “with full and grateful hearts,” more than a year after taking their relationship public. The Roseanne alum and the welder, 22, first announced that they were expecting in May 2019 with a heartfelt message on Instagram.

“We are absolutely over the moon to announce that we will soon be welcoming a little one into this crazy and wonderful world,” Galecki captioned a sweet selfie of him with his partner. “We ask that you please respect our privacy during this celebratory time for us and our families. There truly is love out there for all. We hope ours is the ember of yours, as we feel yours is the ember of ours.”

Later that month, the pair threw a fun-filled backyard bash to reveal the sex of their child. Galecki and Meyer documented the special day on their Instagram Stories at the time, and ended the party covered in blue paint from the moment they found out they would be having a son.
