"I want to thank my baby, my son, for just being the joy in my life," he said of son Legend before adding, "I want to thank my unborn son, we're listening to Stevie [Wonder] tonight."

Glover confirmed the news in an interview with Entertainment Tonight backstage, saying his baby boy is due by the end of the year.

"It feels like [Michelle's] been pregnant for a long time," he joked.

Us Weekly reported in October 2016 that Glover had welcomed his first child earlier in the year. The actor, who also sings under the name Childish Gambino, shared his son's name while performing "Baby Boy" at the Governors Ball in June.

"This song is dedicated to everybody in this crowd and my young son, Legend," he said, according to Billboard.

Glover, who created and plays Earn Marks on Atlanta, also won Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series at the Primetime Emmy Awards. He is the first African-American director to receive the award.
