He's Here!
Baby Callum made his debut on March 6, 2020, when mom Jenna Dewan welcomed him via cesarean section in Los Angeles.
"And just like that, our hearts exploded into all of eternity and beyond," she captioned his arrival announcement on Instagram, adding, "Welcome to the world you little angel!"
Welcome to the World

Callum is Dewan's second child — she also shares daughter Everly, 6½, with ex-husband Channing Tatum — and the first for her fiancé, Steve Kazee.
A Peaceful Arrival

Callum arrived to the tune of a song that always puts the newly minted mom-of-two at ease, she told PEOPLE — "The Devi Prayer," a 20-minute Sanskrit prayer conducive to relaxation and meditation.
"It's a very peaceful song," Dewan said. "I put that on our playlist and I said to Steve, 'If I ever start to look like I'm getting anxious or if I was having a rough time, just please play that.' [Callum] was actually born to that song."
Calm, Cool & Collected

TheGracefully You author told PEOPLE she felt more prepared in welcoming her second child.
"I'd heard this from a lot of people, that there's something that happens with the second baby, that there's a little bit more calm and peace in knowing what's happening," she explained. "Knowing what's coming down the line, you are able to be a little more present and enjoy all of it and it's so true."
Dad's Debut

Kazee was by Dewan's side the entire time, and was "incredible" throughout the entire birth experience, she added.
"It was incredible to watch the awe in his eyes of experiencing birth for the very first time, and the first time he laid eyes on our son," Dewan recalled to PEOPLE. "He was crying the whole time and he cut the umbilical cord. Seeing his transformation of becoming a dad was one of the best things I've ever witnessed. It was beautiful. Birth is such a bonding experience, you're transformed at the end of it."
Covered in Kisses
The new dad gave Callum a smooch on the forehead in this adorably candid clip.

The couple shared the meaning behind their little one's full name — Callum Michael Rebel Kazee — with their fans on Kazee's Instagram Story.
"We've had lots of questions about the name we chose for the little peanut so figured I would share a few things … " the actor wrote, noting that the pair were inspired to call their son Callum, which means "Dove" in Gaelic, "because he has been so sweet and peaceful since landing in our arms." Michael is Kazee's middle name, and Rebel was chosen in honor of his mother Reba.
"I wanted a way to honor my mother. Her name was Reba but from a very young age her father called her Rebel," he said. "And so … Callum Michael Rebel Kazee was born."
