NEW YORK, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Rachel Dratch says the father of her 2-month-old son is John Wahl, her boyfriend of more than a year.

Dratch, a former cast member of "Saturday Night Live," announced in August that she had given birth to a son named Eli Benjamin. However, she did not disclose his father's identity until this week.

The 44-year-old actress told People.com she met Wahl last year at a bar and was surprised to discover after six months of dating she was pregnant. The couple now live together with their infant son in New York.

"I had bought into all this stuff about, 'Once you're over 40...' " Dratch said of her chances of conception. "I'd gone through the whole process of letting go of (the idea of having kids.)"
