Jon Hamm, 55, said on Late Night With Seth Meyers that he is “very excited and deeply terrified” about becoming a dad. How old is Jon Hamm? Old enough, he joked, to be picturing fatherhood on a longer timeline than most new parents.
He added, “I think I’m doing it right,” and then pushed the joke further: “When your kid is 70, you’ll be like, ‘I did it!’ When I’m 152.” Seth Meyers had pointed out that Anna Osceola chose the “peak” time to show off her baby bump, and Hamm answered, “I’m not saying she did it on purpose, but it was some timing.”
Anna Osceola at Emmys 2026
Osceola, 38, debuted her baby bump on the Emmys 2026 red carpet in a striped gown, which is what pushed the pregnancy into public view before Hamm addressed it on air. The timeline matters because the report about a little one on the way surfaced in August, and his Tuesday evening appearance gave the first direct reaction from the couple’s side.
Hamm and Osceola have kept their relationship largely out of sight since they became an item in 2020, even though they first met five years earlier while filming Mad Men in Big Sur, California. They married in June 2023 at the same location, and the pregnancy announcement fits the same low-key pattern: the milestone landed through a red-carpet appearance first, then a joke-filled TV interview.
From Playboy to late-night
Hamm’s reaction also reads as a notable shift from 2012, when he told Playboy, “I don’t have a driving force to have a baby. That said, I’m in a committed relationship, and if it ever came up, I’m not ruling it out.” He also said, “I don’t mean to say that it shouldn’t mean things to other people,” which makes the new fatherhood talk less like a pivot and more like a long-running hesitation finally reaching a real-life answer.
For readers following the story, the practical takeaway is simple: Hamm has spoken publicly, Osceola has already shown the bump, and the couple’s next major detail has not been laid out yet. The immediate question now is when the baby is due, because that is the one piece of timing the public still does not have.
