Tobey Maguire's indescribable joy
Jan 4, 2007, 13:10 GMT
Tobey Maguire says becoming a father felt "indescribable".
The 'Spider-Man' actor - whose fiancée Jennifer Meyer gave birth to the couple's first daughter Ruby Sweetheart in November last year - was thrilled to see his baby girl arrive but wished he could have been more involved in the birthing process.
He told US chat show host Jay Leno: "It was completely indescribable, but nobody really coached me on it. They say, 'OK, catch her!' I'm like, 'What do I do?' I ended up just kind of putting my hand on her while the doctor put her on mom's belly."
The 31-year-old star also revealed the couple decided to name the tot Ruby Sweetheart as a tribute to Jennifer's late grandmother.
He explained: "Jen's grandmother, who passed away recently, would always call her 'Sweetheart'. We named her that to honour her grandmother. As for Ruby, we just liked the name."
The new parents are said to be "having the best time taking care of the baby" and are planning to get married later this year.
A friend of the couple revealed: "They wanted to get married before the baby was born, but they couldn't get it together in time."
