“Mother & wife goddess & always best friend, Thank you my love,” he wrote, adding a red heart. “for our beautiful boy Bourne!”

Before welcoming her baby boy, Dushku shared a photo of herself and Palandjian. Her husband appeared to be cradling her bump while kissing her on the cheek. She wrote, “t-minus just a few more days ’til he’s due..”
Palandjian posted the same photo on his Instagram account, which is private, according to E! Online.
“Mother (very soon-to-be) & wife goddess & always best friend & my love,” he captioned the image.
Dushku announced that she and Palandjian were expecting a child in February. They shared the big news with Us Weekly.
