Jesse Williams is a dad again, and he announced it in the most Jesse Williams way possible. The actor shared an Instagram video Monday of himself grabbing milk bottles from the fridge while quoting the famous“I want my son to speak English”line from Spike Lee’s“Do the Right Thing.”No formal statement, no birth announcement photos, just dad duty and a movie reference. That’s the whole reveal.
The baby is his third child and his first with wife Alejandra Onieva, the Spanish actress he met while co-starring in Amazon Prime’s“Hotel Costiera”in Italy in 2025. Onieva reposted his video to her Story and added a clip of the baby’s feet, captioned with a single word:“Vida,”which means“life.”The couple reportedly married privately, and news of the pregnancy didn’t break until May, so they’ve kept this whole chapter pretty locked down.
For Williams, 45, this is a brand new chapter. He shares daughter Sadie, 12, and son Maceo, 11, with ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee, and that co-parenting history has played out publicly over the years. Now there’s a new marriage, a new baby, and a blended family in the mix. It’s a lot of life happening at once, and honestly, the milk bottle video says it all.
