Wilson and Yates reportedly attended a press reception for “The Hawk” on July 7 at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California, bringing along their newborn daughter. Yates carried the baby in a carrier while the couple spent time with guests before leaving the event early. During the reception, they introduced their daughter to several attendees, including members of the show’s cast such as Jimmy Tatro.

The birth represents a significant milestone for the actor, whose personal life has remained mostly out of the spotlight in recent years. Wilson and Yates are believed to have started dating in 2023, although they did not make their relationship public until they appeared together on the red carpet at the premiere of “Horizon: An American Saga” in Los Angeles in June 2024. Since then, they have rarely been seen together in public.

Best known for films including “Legally Blonde,” “Old School,” “The Royal Tenenbaums” and “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” Wilson has remained a familiar face in Hollywood for three decades.
