• Anthony Michael Hall is finally about to become a dad! Social media users react.

• Who is his wife?

• Why didn't he become a dad earlier? His previous relationships.

Anthony Michael Hall, one of the fresh-faced teens who were the stars of "The Breakfast Club," is entering a new phase in his life. He may have been teen royalty back in the 80s, but now he is becoming a father.

Hall and his wife announced they were expecting their first child on Valentine's Day this year. Hall and his wife, Lucia, have a twenty-year age gap but remain happy and excited about the expansion of their family.

A rep for the couple confirmed their baby news, but Hall gave a statement, talking about how Lucia had broken the news to him. He said:

"Lucia and I were at home. She surprised me by revealing that she was pregnant with an at-home pregnancy test. We were kissing, hugging, and thanking God. We immediately started dancing and laughing in our bathroom to celebrate the great news."

He then confirmed that they were expecting a baby boy, who they would be naming Michael Anthony Hall II. The actor shared that he and his wife were expecting to welcome their son this summer.

Hall Is Finally About to Become A Dad: He Shares His Happiness

The day after Valentine's Day, when Hall's baby news was shared, he took to Instagram to share photos from a maternity shoot that he and his wife had done. Alongside the pictures, he posted a sweet caption sharing his joy.

Talking about how he felt to become a father for the first time at 54, he said he felt "blessed" and "proud." He then gushed:

"Thank You, Heavenly Father! Sending our heartfelt thanks to our loving families & friends who are celebrating our great news with us today. Happy Valentine's Day to all!"

While Hall's son will be his birth name, they will not share a name in Hollywood. Hall had to change his name from Michael Anthony to Anthony Michael because he joined the Screen Actor's Guild in 1976.

Talking about how they had been preparing for their bundle of joy, Hall said while Lucia took care of the home and other important details, he had ensured they'd been eating healthy meals and keeping their health in check in anticipation of their son's arrival.

Hall also said that he and his wife were each getting a lot of sleep each night and that Lucia had been a "champ" throughout her pregnancy. He shared his gratitude and excitement at being able to share this milestone with her.

Meet the Woman Who Conquered Hall's Heart

Hall and Lucia starred alongside Brad Pitt in a film called "War Machine" in 2017 but have been linked since the summer of 2016 when the pair started sharing photos with one another on their respective social media pages.

Lucia is an actress and model best known for her roles in "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood" and "War Machine." She also starred in "Smallville" in the early 2000s before moving on to the big screen.

She and Hall got engaged in Italy in the summer of 2019 and then said their "I dos" in 2020. They have been happily married ever since and rarely give interviews about their personal lives. However, they have been eager to share news of their first son.

It is the first marriage for both Lucia and Hall, and their baby will be their first. Their excitement has been shared via many different outlets, and fans of the pair have shared their enthusiasm, too.

Social Media Users' Reactions to the Actor's Paternity

The news of Hall finally becoming a father has been shared far and wide, with many news outlets reporting on it. Fans have quickly taken to the comments section of each of these posts to share their thoughts.

Some fans think the news is terrific, with one fan saying that if they are a happy couple, they will be good parents to their baby, and that is all that matters. Another said not everyone wants to be a young parent, and they hoped Hall would enjoy fatherhood.

However, there were some users who did not have complimentary comments for the couple. One said he was old enough to be a grandfather, and Lucia was a "stand-in" daughter.

Another said it was 20 years too late to have a baby. One woman said she could never become a mother at 54 as she was a grandmother at 58. She said he should have started younger, but then he would have had to marry Lucia when she was only a child.

Some fans didn't much care about his age or that he was having a baby, but rather that he was "unrecognizable." A fan said she would not have recognized Hall if she had seen him in person somewhere.
