Welcoming the joys of parenthood once again, actor James McAvoy, aged 46, has announced the arrival of his second child with wife Lisa Liberati. Now navigating the whirlwind of raising two kids, McAvoy shares that while the worry has ebbed, the exhaustion has certainly increased.
James McAvoy has welcomed a second child and is speaking publicly about fatherhood in his 40s. In a new interview, the 46-year-old actor said he lives in London with his wife, Lisa Liberati, and their four-year-old son. He is also father to 15-year-old son Brendon, whom he shares with ex-wife Anne-Marie Duff. McAvoy said becoming a dad again later in life feels different, with less worry and more tiredness.

According to The Guardian, McAvoy shared the family update while discussing life at home with Liberati and their young son. He said, “Having a kid at 42 is definitely easier in some ways.” He added, “I worry less. I’m a bit more philosophical. But it’s also harder, because you’re just older and tireder.” The Guardian also reported that McAvoy declined further comment “for fear of creating tabloid fodder.”
