Rathbone shared his excitement over the impending arrival of baby Monroe back in March. "Thanks to everyone for the love and support! Sheila and I are so excited to welcome our baby boy into the world," he said.
The Twilight hunk is a family-oriented man, despite his busy schedule, he still makes time for family. We believe he will make a wonderful father. "The great places to go are my family's." "We're gonna go over to my cousin's house, to my aunt and my uncle's house, and we're gonna have some gold-old real home cooking." Rathbone told People magazine in a recent interview.
"We're about to get all back together for some family reunion time here in the next couple days." "Really excited! My dad's born and raised Baton Rouge and that's where I'm flying, so I'm ecstatic about it!"
Rathborne met Hafsadi while travelling on tour with his band, 100 Monkeys. Congrats to the new parents!
