It’s happy news for FBI star Missy Peregrym and her husband, Australian actor Tom Oakley — the couple has welcomed their baby boy, Otis Paradis. The proud parents announced the arrival with heartfelt joy, sending fans and fellow celebrities into celebration mode.
A Growing Family
Missy Peregrym, best known for her role as Special Agent Maggie Bell on CBS’s FBI, has always kept her personal life relatively private. However, she didn’t hold back her happiness in sharing the birth of her son, Otis. The announcement, accompanied by an adorable first photo, showcased just how thrilled the family is to welcome their newest member.
This is the couple’s second child together. Peregrym and Oakley, who tied the knot in 2018, are already parents to a young daughter. With the arrival of Otis, the family of four is stepping into an exciting new chapter.
Missy’s Journey Through Motherhood
Peregrym has been candid in the past about balancing motherhood with the demands of her acting career. During her first pregnancy, she temporarily stepped away from FBI, with the show writing her absence into the storyline. Fans were supportive of the actress prioritizing family, and many applauded her openness in sharing the realities of life as a working mom in Hollywood.
With baby Otis now here, supporters are already curious about how Peregrym might navigate Season 8 of FBI. While the actress has not yet commented on any upcoming schedule changes, it’s clear that her priority is cherishing this precious time with her growing family.
Fans and Co-Stars Share Their Excitement
The baby announcement quickly made waves online, with fans flooding social media to congratulate the couple. One fan wrote: “Congratulations, Missy and Tom! Otis is such a beautiful name — wishing you all the love in the world.” Another added: “Missy is already a superhero on TV, now she’s one in real life too. Welcome, baby Otis!”
Peregrym’s FBI co-stars also shared their joy. Zeeko Zaki (OA Zidan) reportedly sent warm congratulations, while producers expressed excitement about celebrating this milestone with one of the show’s leading stars.
A Beautiful Name With Special Meaning
The couple chose the name Otis Paradis, a unique and charming combination that immediately caught fans’ attention. While Peregrym and Oakley haven’t shared the inspiration behind the name, many have noted that “Paradis” — French for “paradise” — seems a fitting reflection of the joy the couple feels in this moment.
Looking Ahead
As Missy Peregrym and Tom Oakley adjust to life as parents of two, fans are eager to see glimpses of their family life and how the actress continues to balance her thriving career with motherhood. For now, though, the couple is basking in the happiness of their newborn son — a new beginning that has touched the hearts of fans around the world.
