Earlier this month, Tom and Ashley Arnold welcomed their first child–but getting to that point was not an easy task for them. In an interview with People, Tom said, “I’ve worked diligently to become a father for 23 years,” he explains. “…The moment Jax was born, I realized that this was exactly the way it was meant to be. I was ready because I was healthy and had the perfect partner.”
