"We still don’t know the gender of the baby, but if it was up to her, she’d love to have a baby sister," she added. Wilmer talked about what it means to him to be a father. "Personally, being a girl dad has been the most fulfilling feeling. As an artist, it has also fueled me to make sure she has so many stories in which she sees herself as the hero of her journey!
