Just when David’s wife was about to give birth to Bella, the CBS star said,

“Jaime’s pregnant, we’re doing construction at the house, and I’m just pulling my hair out. I didn’t go to Comic-Con because the baby was going to come at any minute. We’re just waiting and waiting.

“I walked in and she was doing this little kind of a pose and it caught my eye…it was a reflective shot through a mirror – quite a shot, so it kind of hit me hard. It was the energy. The essence of that photograph kind of got me moved. It hit me hard,”
