his mum would have been so proud Skittles Apr 2020 #1
Awwwww...is he married? I don't think so. So cool. nolabear Apr 2020 #2
Not married and no reference to a partner. He'll make a wonderful, loving single dad.💕 SaveOurDemocracy Apr 2020 #3
I'm sorry I missed the story. He seems like great dad material. nolabear Apr 2020 #4

He died when Anderson was young...very sad. He seems like he would be a good parent from what I have observed over the years.

Wyatt was his dad's name (who died when Anderson was 10 y.o.) and Morgan is a family name on his mom's side and a name she and his dad had thought about naming Anderson.

I feel sure he'll be a great dad.

Heartfelt and lovely. You might want to have a tissue handy. Just saying:

You can also (maybe) scroll through the 4 photos on the Instagram post embedded on the webpage. (Not sure if you need to be signed into Instagram for that to work.)

Much happiness to both of them.
