When kid sensation Blippi whips up his next YouTube video, he’ll bring some new skills to the table: parenting. That’s right, Stevin John (aka Blippi) is now a dad! And since the baby’s birth in Spring, John has been sharing the most adorable updates.
The suspender-wearing host welcomed a son on Mar. 9 with fiancée Alyssa Ingham, sharing the happy news on Instagram. World, say hello to Lochlan David John.
The new parents shared more details about “Baby Blippi” in an interview with Parents, and they have a lot to say. Weighing in at 7 pounds, 4 ounces, dad shares “He is so cute. We love him so much! It has been heaven having him with us!” Along with some key metrics, the couple shared some adorable photos of the newest addition.
We’ve been waiting for this exciting announcement ever since Stevin and Alyssa shared the news that they were expecting back in October. “I’m going to be a Dad! @alyssaingham and I so excited!!! 🍼🧸 Parenthood coming 2022!” went the caption.
Blippi has been hard at work prepping for baby Lochlan’s arrival. Alyssa shared that “Stevin has filmed three week-long trips before taking his time off for paternity leave. We wanted him to be close to home [in Washington] rather than filming in Los Angeles just in case there was anything that happened with the baby or preterm labor.”
Now that the newest member of the Blippi brigade has arrived, Stevin’s been taking time off to focus on his family. Together for seven years, he and his fiancée also have some wedding plans to make, but only after they’ve soaked in all the baby bliss.
“Literally the best week of my life,” Stevin shared after his first week with Lochlan. And their adventures have only been getting cuter.
In May, the family took a trip to L.A., and from Stevin’s update, it all went well! Especially meeting “Blippi” for the first time.
Honestly, this father-son duo is the cutest.
Initially inspired by his nephew, Stevin’s Blippi character has given him a leg up on the parenting game. When asked if he felt prepared for dad-dom, he shares, “Definitely. I know what kids’ interests are more now. And having met so many kids throughout the years, I feel more in tune with how kids act in their younger years.”
