Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz and his wife Paige Price have announced the birth of their first child - a baby boy.

"I'm a dad, guys," Muniz announced on his Instagram account, alongside a video of him cradling the baby. He did not reveal the baby's face or his name.

The 35-year-old actor, who starred in Malcolm in the Middle from 2000 to 2006, added, "I love my baby so much. And I love my wife more than ever."

Muniz and Price, who wed in February 2020, announced the pregnancy on their YouTube channel last September.

"In the past four and a half years, Paige and I have experienced so many incredible things together," Muniz said at the time.

"We've travelled the world, got to live out all these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

"While we still believe it's the little moments in between the big ones that make you feel happiest, nothing quite compares to hearing your little one's heartbeat.

"We felt like we were living and experiencing a real-life miracle for the first time. The second I heard that heartbeat, reality set in. I was throwing out baby names and future career choices."

Paige added: "When we found out we were expecting, I think we were both in a state of disbelief. We knew that we wanted this, but we were told our chances weren't that great.

"The struggle of going to every doctor's appointment made me feel less and less like a woman. I'm excited to say that we've beat the odds and we're officially 15 weeks along and counting."
