Almost got one, Dad! MVP Drew Brees lifts his son Baylen Robert — who was more interested in grabbing at the celebratory confetti! — into the air after his team, the New Orleans Saints, defeated the Indianapolis Colts in Sunday night’s Super Bowl.

Baylen is the first child for the Saints quarterback, 31, and wife Brittany. He arrived on Jan. 15th, 2009 — Drew’s birthday!

Creed frontman Scott Stapp and his wife, Jaclyn, who announced their pregnancy in December, have found out the sex of the baby — and they can barely contain their excitement.

“We’re having a boy!” Scott excitedly volunteered to Celebrity Baby Blog exclusively at the Saturday Night Spectacular party hosted by Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy.

The couple, who have two children — daughter Milán Hayat, 3, and son Jagger, 11 — realize that adding a new baby to the mix will change their lives.

“I think every year, our relationship evolves and grows,” stays Scott, “and with a new child comes new responsibility. But I tell you what, I fall in love with Jaclyn more and more every day.”

Scott, 36, and his wife have chosen a name for the baby, due in July: Daniel, after Jaclyn’s brother.

He’s only been a father for 14 months, but it’s a job rocker Pete Wentz says he’d love to try again.

“We are very lucky and hope to have another child at some point,” Pete — who has a son, Bronx Mowgli, with wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz — tells PEOPLE during Hard Rock International’s Rock & Soul Party Friday night near Miami.

Adds the rocker: “We also like doing what you have to do to have a baby!”

“My child has taught me selflessness, patience and how to give this unexplained kind of love,” Pete, 30, says at the party, where he was asked to deejay by football agent Drew Rosenhaus. “I can’t explain this kind of love, but Ashlee, who is just an awesome mom, shares this feeling with me.”

As for his other job, bassist for Fall Out Boy, Pete says he’s looking for new challenges now that the fate of the band remains uncertain.

“I am solo tonight, but I won’t sing or perform a song,” he says. “I will just deejay. As for the breakup with the band, all I can say is that for now I want to chill.”

As kids get older and develop their own personalities, many begin to favor one parent over the other. Not true for Coco Riley Arquette, says dad David Arquette during a recent visit to The Bonnie Hunt Show.

Noting that the 5 ½-year-old is “definitely her own person,” David shares that he and wife Courteney Cox-Arquette catch glimpses of each other in their daughter.

“She’s a little messy so that’s sort of on my side, but she’s very strong-willed which is very Courteney-like,” he muses. One thing is certain, however — despite her two actor parents, Coco is developing an interest in music!

“We got her a flute recently and she is just walking around [pretending to play],” he laughs. “We’re jammin’ a lot, a little Jethro Tull.”

Whether Coco will become a big sister has yet to be decided. Although David and Courteney would love to expand their family, the actor admits it’s easier said than done. “I mean, it takes a lot for us to do it, so maybe adoption,” he reveals.

Quickly realizing his unintentional pun, David clarifies,

“Hey! Listen, I like practicing as much as possible! But it’s hard, I’m exhausted!”

Football season may be over for the New England Patriots, but their star quarterback Tom Brady is still getting plenty of exercise on the home front!

Telling Extra that he delights in roughhousing with his 2-year-old son John Edward Thomas, the new dad is counting down the days until the family’s newest addition — 8-week-old Benjamin — joins in on the fun.

Currently enjoying the offseason, Tom is taking full advantage of his rare downtime to spend with his wife Gisele Bündchen and the boys. “I like to spend time with my family and friends and get a little rest because, obviously, during the football season, there’s not a whole lot of that!” he says.

When it is time to hit the field again, however, Jack and Benjamin will be in on the action, supporting their dad on the sidelines — and the proud papa says there’s nothing he loves more.

“It’s a great thing to see them run around at the football game — or at least one of them run around,” he raves.

“For a long time, I didn’t know when I was going to be a father, and now I have two boys.”

Jack is Tom’s son with actress Bridget Moynahan.

Willie Garson is officially a father – after having begun the process of adopting his 8-year-old son, Nathen, a year ago.

The adoption, fostered by The Alliance for Children’s Rights and Westside Children’s Center, was finalized in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the Sex and the City actor, who currently stars on the USA Network’s White Collar, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“From the first time I met him, I said, ‘That’s my kid,’” says Willie, 45. His biggest challenge so far as a single parent? Helping Nathen with his homework.

“He’s in third grade, and I’m in the third grade,” jokes Willie, who reprises his role as Stanford Blatch — the best guy pal of Carrie Bradshaw — in the upcoming Sex and the City 2, which hits movie theaters May 28.
