As for who will be most excited for his new title, Jordan told PEOPLE that the women in his family "are definitely proud of this one."

"When my grandmother was alive, it was something that she collected, and then my mom naturally reads it a lot and my aunts as well. This is one that they’re definitely going to have a special place for," he said.

The single actor, who when not working relishes driving cars, cooking and playing video games, insists the secret to his confidence now was "fully realizing that you can’t make everybody happy."

"You could have all the good intentions in the world, and you’ll still get controversy or some type of negativity thrown your way," said Jordan. "Sometimes you’ve just got to trust the universe, you know? You’ve got to just believe in yourself and do what you feel is really right. I think that adds up."
