It’s Beckett, Bitch! Thanks to the incredible team at Summerlin hospital - especially Collette. Thanks for taking care of us. Welcome to the world, Beckett Mercer. We love you more than I could’ve ever dreamed of. Thanks for all the messages and congratulations. We are over the moon. 👶🏻 ❤️

“It’s Beckett, B*tch!” the lawyer said, referring to Britney Spears’s popular catchphrase. He also posted a photo of the baby’s onesie.

Mikita then thanked the staff at the Summerlin Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada in the United States for “taking care of [them].”

“Welcome to the world, Beckett Mercer,” Mikita added. “We love you more than I could’ve ever dreamed of.”

Prior to officially adding a new member into their family, the fathers held an extravagant baby shower with their friends. According to the report, Ferguson’s Modern Family co-stars such as Sarah Hyland and Sofia Vergara were present at the event.

Ferguson first revealed that he and Mikita were expecting a baby last January on the The Late Late Show with James Corden, as seen in the program’s YouTube page.

When Corden asked about the child’s gender, Ferguson simply joked that they were having a “human”.

Ferguson and Mikita tied the knot back in July 2013 in New York City, United States.
