Ryan Guzman is a dad again

Ryan Guzman has become a father for the second time.

The 33-year-old actor and his fiancee Chrysti Ane – who already have 23-month-old son Mateo together – have surprised fans by announcing they welcomed a baby girl into the world on Thursday (07.01.21), who they have named Genevieve Valentina.

The ‘9-1-1’ actor shared a photo of himself and Chrysti in hospital with their daughter and wrote on Instagram: “Genevieve Valentina Guzman, Welcome to this crazy world mi hijita. Your mom, brother, and me are so happy you finally blessed us with your presence. Remember your family has your back por siempre. Love, Papa (sic)”

Chrysti admitted she was pleased she and Ryan had been “selfish” and not publicly announced her pregnancy because it had made the last few months even more “special”.

She wrote on her own Instagram account: “Well world, I think it’s time I make a confession….I’ve been pregnant for basically this entire quarantine.

“We welcomed our little lady Genevieve Valentina Guzman into the world today at 3:50 pm. Ry and I decided to be a little selfish this time around and keep this journey between us. I’m so happy we did that. It was so special.(sic)”

Ryan plays Eddie Diaz in ‘9-1-1’ and last year joked a standalone episode exploring the firefighter’s military past left him fearful he’d be unable to father any more children because of the tight harness he had to wear for scenes when he went down a well to rescue a young boy.

He said: That hole was the bane of my existence. It was maybe a 10-to-12 feet deep. Width-wise, I’m guessing it was maybe three feet. So if you’re claustrophobic, it would already get you.

“At the same time, the way they lower you down, you have to be in this harness. And harnesses are usually meant for you to lean back and it takes most of the weight on your backside.

“I couldn’t [do that] because I had to go straight down and I had a wet suit on with my costume because it was rainy and windy out. Because of that all of the weight had to go straight on my groin.

“As they lowered me down I’m having 185 pounds go straight on my groin. I had to do that for three different takes. Needless to say, I had to tell my girl, ‘I don’t know if we’re having any more kids.’ “
