\"More life! One whole week with our Abe,\" the \"One Night in Miami\" star wrote. \"Watching Nicolette give birth to these kids...? Simply, the bravest acts I’ve ever witnessed from a foot away.\"

Praising his wife, he added, \"I love you, sweetheart and I am in awe. Our little family bursts at the seams with joy! And gratitude.\"

Many of the Broadway star's famous friends flocked to the comment section to express their well wishes. Kristen Bell, who had worked alongside him on the animated series \"Central Park,\" gushed, \"Congrats papa and great job mama!! Welcome Able.\"

Another \"Central Park\" cast member, Josh Gad, called Able \"So beautiful.\" Other sweet remarks came from Josh Groban, Debra Messing, Lena Waithe and many others.
