No one is more excited about Daveed Diggs and Emmy Raver-Lampman’s family growing than their own son.
The actor, 44, spoke with Entertainment Tonight at the Los Angeles premiere of I Want Your Sex on Tuesday, July 28, and was asked how he and his wife, 37, are feeling after announcing they are expecting their second baby together. “Excited. Mostly really excited. Tired,” admitted Diggs. “It’s definitely more tiring already having a toddler. So yeah, we’re exhausted but really excited.”
“Our first is very excited, too. So that’s really sweet,” the actor said of his 2-year-old son. “Says good morning to his brother every day in the belly and stuff.”

At the time, Raver-Lampman shared an Instagram post featuring her newborn’s tiny feet and a sweet caption about his birth.
“Dear baby, you have forever changed us. our hearts are filled with a kind of love we never thought possible,” she wrote. “We love you more than you will truly ever know. thank you for choosing us. now please…go the f–k to sleep. love, mom and dad. ♥️.”
Speaking with PEOPLE at the premiere of the sci-fi film In the Blink of an Eye at the Sundance Film Festival last January, the actor discussed fatherhood, saying it’s the “best thing” he’s ever done.”
“It’s the best thing I’ve ever done — and it’s not even close, and I’ve lived a charmed life since,” he said. “But I think in terms of how it relates to my work, to me it just felt like an immediate focusing agent.”
“Sometimes it’s hard to be like, ‘Oh, what should I do right now? Or is this a thing I need to take or should I be out here hustling more?’ And all of a sudden it was just like, ‘If it doesn’t make [my son’s] life better, it doesn’t matter,’ ” Diggs added.
