Jesse Williams’s third child has arrived, his first with wife Alejandra Olnieva.

The “Grey’s Anatomy” alum appeared to reveal the news Monday by posting an Instagram video of himself reaching into a fridge for bottles of milk.

“English! English, alright I want my son to speak English. Bad enough his name is Hector,” he said, quoting a line from Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing” movie.

Olnieva, who could be seen in the background, re-posted the social media upload on her Story — and shared a video of the infant’s feet.

Williams’ rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

News broke in May that Williams and his partner had a little one on the way, months after their wedding.

At the time, the Spanish actress debuted her bump while shopping at a Whole Foods in Los Angeles.

The 34-year-old gave her Instagram followers another glimpse of her budding belly in an Instagram slideshow that same month.

“Vida,” she wrote, which is Spanish for “life.”

Olnieva and Williams, 45, met co-starring in Amazon Prime’s “Hotel Costiera” series, which filmed in Italy in 2025.

The duo have since kept their romance out of the spotlight, with a report surfacing in May that they privately walked down the aisle earlier this year.

The ceremony was low-key, per TMZ, and no further details on the date or location have been revealed.

Williams was previously married to Aryn Drake-Lee, whom he started dating in 2007 prior to his acting career taking off.

The exes walked down the aisle in September 2012 in Los Angeles, going on to welcome daughter Sadie, 12, and son Maceo, 11.

Williams and Drake-Lee, 44, called it quits in 2017 and became embroiled in a contentious custody battle.

They reached a settlement in 2018, each being granted 50/50 joint legal custody, and their divorce was finalized two years later.

The former couple were subsequently ordered to “high conflict” parenting classes and made headlines for clashing in 2022 over Williams temporarily moving from California to New York for a Broadway gig.

A judge ruled in 2022 that Williams’ kids would fly to the Big Apple for visitation days — a move Drake-Lee blasted via social media.

“There’s a name for the condition of an adult who expects their children to indulge, caregive [sic] and service that adult’s desires at the children’s expense,” she wrote via Instagram at the time.

Most recently, the pair butted heads in 2025 when Williams filed for — and was awarded — sole legal custody of their little ones’ healthcare.
