Josh Holloway, best known for his role as Sawyer on ABC’s Lost, welcomed his first child, Java Kumala, on April 9 with wife Yessica, a rep for the actor confirms to Usmagazine.com.
The actor, 39, was expected to attend the Royal Hawaiian/Louis Vuitton fundraiser for the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific Foundation Sunday afternoon, but canceled after Yessica went into labor.
In December, Holloway announced he was going to be a dad while filming the fifth season of J.J. Abrams’ series on location in Hawaii.
The couple — who wed in 2004 — initially said they didn’t want children.
“We have changed our minds…only recently,” Holloway told USA Today last March. “Basically, nature happened.
“If you’re in a loving relationship with someone, [having] children becomes a part of it,” he continued. “I don’t know exactly when or how, but we’re very open to either having our own children or adopting.”
