"Bros" star Luke Macfarlane and his partner took home a Father's Day gift in the form of their newborn baby daughter, People Magazine reported.
The "Brothers and Sister" alum "revealed on Instagram Wednesday that he and his partner Rig Roberts welcomed a baby girl earlier this month," the magazine detailed. The infant, named Tess Eleanor Macfarlane, was born June 4.
But it wasn't until Father's Day that they got to bring her home, Macfarlane said in an Instagram post. "We started life with some hectic days and received world class care," Macfarlane shared.
"On Father's Day we got to take her home," Macfarlane added. "Her Dads can't wait to introduce her to all the remarkable people and the beautiful world we live in."
The post included several photos and a video that showed the happy new dads walking up a corridor, with Macfarlane carrying the baby's bassinet. Another video showed Macfarlane rocking the infant and crooning to her soothingly. One photo showed a smiling, shirtless Macfarlane cradling his daughter.
