Bianca revealed the birth of their son on Oct. 9, 2024, writing in an Instagram caption, “Welcome to the world little man 💙.”
A week later, for an Instagram photo of Luke with his arms wrapped around her and their baby, Bianca wrote, “And then there were 3 🫂.”
Luke spoke to PEOPLE shortly after his son’s birth, about fatherhood.
“I think people talk about your heart expanding a little bit every day, and it's so true,” he said in November 2024. “It’s like there’s a love growing inside of me that I didn’t know I was capable of, and it’s incredible and it’s scary because you have so much more skin in the game.”
Marshals premieres March 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
