Zachary Levi Welcomes First Baby With Girlfriend Maggie Keating
Zachary Levi is embracing fatherhood.
The Shazam! actor, 44, and his girlfriend Maggie Keating, 27, recently welcomed their first baby, son Henson Pugh—and fittingly, they confirmed his arrival with a touching note on social media.
“Henson Ezra Levi Pugh. Born into our world on 04/02/25,” the duo wrote on their joint April 10 post, which sees a photo of them bonding with their newborn. “Thank you for everyone’s continued love and prayers over the three of us. We can’t wait for you to meet our little man!”
Those close to the couple, who’ve mostly kept their relationship under the radar, also celebrated their new baby bliss. Zachary’s Chuck costar, Sarah Lancaster, gushed over their “gorgeous” son while Arrow alum Kat McNamara left three red heart emojis.
The Tangled star, who was briefly married to FBI actor Missy Peregrym in 2014, revealed he and the America’s Next Top Model alum were expecting last December. At the time, he celebrated the news on Instagram, where he shared a photo of their son’s ultrasound and another of him and Maggie cozying up on the beach.
“I’ve wanted to be a dad since I was literally a kid,” the actor (born Zachary Pugh) wrote at the time, describing his connection to fatherhood as a “desire” in his heart. “But deep down I knew that there were things in my life that needed to shift before I was ready for the blessing of something so special and the responsibilities that come with it.”
And according to Zachary, that shift started from within. The year prior, he started prioritizing his “mental, physical, and spiritual health.” And while on that meditative journey, he met Maggie.
“God brought a brilliant, honest, grounded, and deep love into my life thru the angelic form of @maggiekeating,” he continued. “A wonderful woman on the same journey of self discovery and love, ready to step into a new and amazing chapter of life with me. So, we did.”
Maggie—who appeared on ANTM in 2018—also celebrated her pregnancy that following month, noting their bundle of joy was “already beyond loved by so many.”
