“I didn’t know what this moment was going to be like. I didn’t know how you were going to react to it,” he tells his daughter. “Even when Tina came over today – I was completely freaking out about this moment. I haven’t slept since 3 a.m. this morning, so this is all unbelievable.”
Speaking to PEOPLE in late July, Wayne shared how “shocked” he was to learn that his on-again, off-again ex-girlfriend Tina had become pregnant while the former couple were together during the pandemic.

“I was shocked,” he said. “I asked the stupid question that I think many men have asked since the beginning of time. ‘How?’ You know how! So get over it.”
The little boy was named Val in honor of Wayne’s recently deceased grandmother Valerie.
“I never want Val to grow up thinking he should be ashamed or look back and say, ‘Oh, my father didn’t want me or he was ashamed of me.’ Because I want him to know, in his own way, that I love him as much as I love Maīle, which is mine and I had a hand in creating,” he told PEOPLE. “So I had to do this work.”
Brady came out as pansexual in August 2023 and the series follows him through his many relationships, including the one with himself.
Wayne Brady: The Family Remix airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on Freeform and the next day on Hulu..
