In January, PEOPLE exclusively confirmed that the couple was expecting their first child together. "The parents-to-be are elated!" a rep said at the time.

The actor then shared the news in April that he was having a baby girl while promoting The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

"I'm gonna announce some big news for everyone," he said. "I am gonna have a little girl."

Earlier this year, the star told Access Hollywood that he is "extremely excited" to be a father again.

"My boys are all grown up, and I miss going to the toy store. I miss singing lullabies and rocking in the rocking chair," he said earlier this month. "I'm looking forward to getting back to that."

The Oscar winner tied the knot with Riko during a "very small and intimate wedding at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas" on Feb. 16 of last year, honoring his late father's birthday.
