The couple brought their newborn to a press event for Wilson’s upcoming Netflix comedy series, The Hawk, at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, Calif., the outlet reports.
Wilson and Yates arrived at the event holding their little one in a carrier, introducing her to guests and Wilson’s castmates. The couple have kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight but have been dating for since at least 2023, according to Page Six. They were most recently photographed taking a walk together in April in Los Angeles.
Wilson previously said he wanted kids. “I don’t have a girlfriend, but I wouldn’t mind one. I definitely want [kids] at some point,” he told PEOPLE in 2007.
He even shared in 2021 that he was feeling “panicky” about approaching his 50th birthday.
“Thirty didn’t matter to me. Forty didn’t matter to me,” he told PEOPLE at the time. “I just steamrolled right through it, but 50. I don’t know if it’s getting to me because I am sore when I wake up in the middle of the night, and I am forgetting the names of people I know.”
“So I don’t know. It’s definitely one of those things that has had me thinking, ‘Oh, okay. So this is where the phrase midlife crisis comes from,’” he said. “I’m definitely starting to feel panicky about some stuff.”
