American comedian Hasan Minhaj and wife Beena Patel welcomed a new baby boy to the family on Thursday night. Minhaj took to Instagram to say the new arrival was a beautiful distraction from news of the global coronavirus pandemic.

“Even in these crazy times there are so many beautiful moments,” wrote the 34-year-old Patriot Act star. “Welcome to the world little guy."

"The Minhaj family grows, and according to Beena it’s done growing. But ya never know, shooters shoot,” he wrote cheekily. The couple also have a daughter, born in April 2018.
