Michael Ealy Reveals Some Good News We All Need Right Now

This might put a smile on your face today.

Just when we desperately needed it — here comes some good news!
Michael Ealy just announced on Steve Harvey's talk show that he's a daddy for a second time. As folks are reeling from the results of last night's election, we can take some comfort in knowing there's one more brown soul in the world now.

The Secrets and Lies star revealed that's he's the father of a newborn baby girl with wife Khatira Rafiqzada, with whom he already shares a 4-year-old son.

"I just discovered an all new love... it's a special kind of protective love," Ealy said on the show. But future boyfriends, watch out, because the actor isn't playing when it comes to his daughter's future boyfriends. "I played some dangerous characters," Ealy (jokingly?) mentioned when Steve Harvey asked him about how he will take it when she starts dating boys. "So you ain't got no problems, they talking — you under the bed," Harvey joked back.

Looks like Ealy is looking forward to being a good father for his baby girl! Congrats!
