‘Glee’ Alum Darren Criss Welcomes New Addition to His Family
‘Glee’ alum Darren Criss and his wife Mia welcome a new addition to their family. Above, Criss attends ‘Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age’ at Studio 54 on March 25, 2024 in New York City.
A little more than two years after the birth of his first child, Darren Criss has announced that he has become a father for a second time.
The Glee alum shared the exciting news in a June 6 Instagram post.
“M & D just delivered their follow-up single,” the 37-year-old actor wrote on Thursday. The post included a photo of a newborn baby bundled up in a blanket and smiling. A small hand that appeared to belong to Criss’ daughter held a pair of adult-sized sunglasses over the infant’s eyes.
Criss introduced his son as Brother László Criss, who was born on June 3. As many fans noted in the Instagram post’s comment section, the Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story star later added a note to his Instagram caption, writing, “… and yes his first name is Brother ??.”
While some fans questioned the name—and wondered how much influence Criss’ 2-year-old daughter had on the choice—others thought it was “perfect” for the newest member of the Criss family.
“Awww, what a perfect name!!!!??,” one fan wrote, adding that the newborn "hit the parent lottery.”
Another fan said Criss and his wife, Mia, chose “Such a special name for a special adorable little boy!!”
“Congratulations!!!! So precious, absolutely adorable!!! God bless your family!!! ??????,” another fan wrote.

Some of Criss’ former co-stars also chimed in to celebrate the news.
“Congratulations ??????,” fellow Glee alum Kevin McHale wrote.
“Yeeeeesssss! So happy for you growing Family!! Love you all!” Glee’s Matthew Morrison commented.
Criss first announced that he and his wife were expecting their second child in a December 2023 Instagram post. The humorous announcement came in the form of a Mamma Mia! poster that was photoshopped to include the faces of Criss, Mia and their daughter, Bluesy Belle Criss, whom the couple welcomed in April 2022.
“And COMING SOON… let’s hope the sequel is better than the photoshop???? ??,” Criss joked in his family’s pregnancy announcement.
