Ferguson first announced that he and Mikita were expecting during an interview on The Late Late Show in January, telling host James Corden, "This is something I haven't even mentioned to anyone, if we could just keep it between the three of us and you all, but I'm actually expecting a baby in July with my husband."
Corden could barely contain his excitement as he asked if Ferguson knew whether the baby is a boy or girl, to which Ferguson quipped, "A human."
"I'm very excited," he revealed. "But it feels like I'm 44 now. I'm like, let's get this show going! I mean, it's already tick tock!"
