Laguna Beach alum Stephen Colletti is officially a dad after his wife, Alex Weaver, welcomed their first baby.
The couple announced their son’s arrival via Instagram on Thursday, May 14, revealing his name is “Rhodes August Colletti 🤍.”
Weaver, 32, shared a black-and-white photo of the newborn grasping her finger as she held hands with Colletti, 40.
The sweet moment also served as both Laguna Beach and One Tree Hill virtual reunions, as cast members from both of Colletti’s past shows replied with well wishes in the comments section.
“🥰Congrats you two!!!!!! Can’t wait to meet little Rhodes!!!!” Dieter Schmitz, who costarred on MTV’s Laguna Beach with Colletti in the early 2000s, wrote via Instagram.
James Lafferty, who played Nathan Scott on One Tree Hill for three seasons ahead of Colletti joining the show as Chase Adams in 2007, was quick to reply as well.
“That’s one lucky little human. Congratulations you two. Best news ever ❤️❤️❤️,” Lafferty, who is also Colletti’s cocreator and costar on Hulu’s Everyone Is Doing Great, commented.
Lafferty’s wife, Alexandra Park, who also works on the Hulu comedy, added, “The world is so ready for you, Rhodes August !!! Love you 3 🥹🩵🫶🏼 🫶🏼🌙♥️🩵🌙🫶🏼.”
Robbie Jones, who played Quentin Fields on OTH, sent his own sweet message, writing, “CONGRATULATIONS Daddy Colletti!! Blessings on blessings! ❤️🥂.”
Kate Voegele, who portrayed Colletti’s love interest Mia Catalano on The CW series, added, “So sweet!! Congratulations friends!!”
“What a week! Congrats guys!” Bryan Greenberg, who played Jake Jagielski on the hit drama, responded in the comments section.
Ashley Wahler, who is married to Colletti’s former Laguna Beach costar Jason Wahler, added, “Congratulations! LOVE the middle name ❤️.”
Ashley Rickards, who played Samantha “Sam” Walker on OTH, replied, “Congratulations!! 🎉.”
Colletti also commented on his wife’s post, sharing emojis that describe their current life status. “👶🏻👸🏼😊,” he replied.
Colletti and Weaver, a NASCAR reporter and host, tied the knot in October 2025 after getting engaged in November 2023.
The couple announced in January that they were expecting their first child. Ahead of Rhodes’ birth, Colletti exclusively told Us Weekly that he was looking to Lafferty, a new dad himself, for tips. (Lafferty, 40, and Park, 37, welcomed their first baby, son River, in December 2025.)
“I have been leaning on him,” Colletti said in May. “I’ve been watching him forge the path of fatherhood, and I’ve been so impressed with what he and [his wife] Alex together have been doing. It’s just so cool to see your best friends go through that journey and to be right behind them and getting excited here for my wife and I.”
