And he's like, 'I'm still going to be your firstborn son, though, right?' I'm like, 'Yeah, you're still the firstborn son.'"

Expressing the sweetness of his son's nature and his excitement about the new addition to the family, Duhamel shared, "He's a really sweet kid. And he loves babies. I was the same way at his age.
