Bros actor Luke MacFarlane and his partner—former Team USA Olympic alpine skier Hig Roberts—brought home their new baby girl Tess on Fathers' Day this year.

On an Instagram post they shared:

"Tess Eleanor Macfarlane—Born June 4th 2023."
"We started life with some hectic days and received world class care."
"On Father’s Day we got to take her home."
"Her Dads can’t wait to introduce her to all the remarkable people and the beautiful world we live in."

MacFarlane rose to prominence in his role on the TV show Brothers and Sisters, before switching to starring in Hallmark movies.

Recently he starred opposite Billy Eichner—who offered his congratulations on Tess' birth—in the gay rom-com Bros. Roberts was an Alpine skier who won national events in 2017 and 2018 before retiring in 2020.

The congratulations flooded in especially from those in the couples' respective careers.

They included Billy Eichner and Olympic medal winning freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy—another openly gay winter athlete.

Trump Just Gave A New Reason For Why He Closes His Eyes During Meetings—And Here We Go Again

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he explained to New York Magazine that the reason why he's constantly photographed with his eyes closed is not because he's sleeping... but because the meetings he attends are "boring as hell."

In November, The New York Times published an article that argued that despite Trump's projection of “round-the-clock energy, virility and physical stamina" and the fact that he "and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics," that image is getting harder to pull off because Trump is showing signs of aging.

'America's Next Top Model' Winner Calls Out New Documentary For Viewing Show Through 'Woke Lens'

The 1990s and early 2000s were a very different time when it came to entertainment, especially how women and people of color were treated on television.

An infamous example of this was the hit television show America's Next Top Model, which ran for 24 seasons.

Nicholas Galitzine stars as the titular super hero in the upcoming film adaptation Masters of the Universe, and given our times, it's only natural the film would make a joke about pronouns.

Even MTG Is Demanding That MAGA Admit The Killing Of Alex Pretti Was Completely Unjustified

Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to speak out against the MAGA movement that brought her to national prominence, this time calling on Republicans to condemn the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—a weapon that authorities said Pretti was permitted to carry but was not handling at the time—before fatally shooting him.
