Aaron, 42, and his actress wife Lauren, 34, married in 2013 and previously opened up about their desire to expand their family.

\"I can't wait to have another baby, and I'm so excited to see what 40 has to offer,\" the \"Westworld\" actor told Haute Living last year. \"I'm just excited to be around, to be alive. I'm just happy to be here. Life is good.\"

Aaron also enthused about being a parent and said, \"fatherhood has definitely changed me.\"

\"Having a child is the closest thing to magic that anyone can have,\" he said. \"I see why people rush home to be there when they get home from school. You don't want to miss any of it.\"
