Ahead of their due date, Jerry told PEOPLE that hehopes his son mostly takes after his wife.
“If he is significantly more my wife than me, I’m good. We’re good. I know that kid is going to be good,” he shared in March.
As for what he’s most anticipating, Jerry shared that he’s “really looking forward to waking up every day and seeing his face and seeing him change and watching him grow up.”
The actor went on to share that he hopes his son grows up “to be a loyal young guy” who’s “nice” and “respectful of others” around him as he grows up.
“Little kids can be mean to each other sometimes — lord knows I probably had my moments when I was a little kid — so I’m really just going to try to preach to him to be kind, and be nice and try to imagine what somebody else is feeling before you react to anything,” he explained.
Jerry and Breanne, his longtime love, tied the knot in June 2017.
