Nathan Kress holds onto daughter Rosie as she attends her very first event at the 7th Annual Step2 Celebrity Red CARpet Event on Saturday afternoon (September 22) in Culver City, Calif.
The dad and daughter duo were joined by wife and mom London Elise Kress for the annual event, which benefits Baby 2 Baby.
In a recent Instagram, London reminded Nathan of his one time fear of holding babies, and now he’s a pro at it.
“You now hold a little girl—YOUR little baby girl—in your protective, strong, gracefully courageous arms,” she wrote. “Not only do you not mind holding a baby now, I have to lovingly disappoint you with a ‘No, Nate, you cannot go wake up our sleeping baby to hold her one more time before bed because you miss her already.’”
The former iCarly star and now director revealed on Instagram that he just had back surgery to remedy a rare birth defect that not even he knew he had.
“Alright, so here’s what been going on! Since around 2013-14, I’ve been having increasingly bad back pain, while doing the simplest stuff– driving, sitting cross-legged, even standing still in front of monitor while directing. Everything just hurt, all the time,” Nathan tells his fans on Instagram. “So after a lot of procrastinating, lots of doctors visits and MRIs, and an incorrect diagnosis or two, I found out I actually had a pretty rare birth defect that placed my spinal cord under tension, and it was pulling on my nerves.”
Nathan made the choice to have the surgery last week.
“Surgery went well, but I won’t know how effective it was until later,” he reveals. “I’m in a decent bit of pain, but it’ll be worth it in the long run.”
Nathan added, “Right now I focus on recovery and getting my mobility back (with the help of my sexy walker). And to those living with constant, chronic pain: if you haven’t yet, please, please investigate. It took a long time to figure out what my deal was, but it was worth the effort. I never would have expected this issue, or that the solution would be so easy. You just never know!”
Nathan‘s wife, London, also shared a sweet message on Instagram about the ordeal. You can see that below!

In a new post on Instagram, the former iCarly actor and director shared a touching tribute to his wife, London.
“I can’t believe it’s already been over a week since this incredible day,” Nathan started. “Starting with this first quiet moment, I swell with pride every time I see my two favorite ladies together.”
He continues, “The way they got into a rhythm so fast never ceases to amaze me. Londy, you are SUCH a natural at this– a born mother. It warms my heart to see you absolutely shine in this role, in every way.”
“And Rosie… wow. You are already so strong, so expressive, so smart, and so very lovely. It will be an honor to watch you grow.”
The 25-year-old Alive In Denver actor and his daughter were actually delivered by the same doctor, London revealed on Instagram.
“I really don’t have the words… My heart has been so captured in a way that has never been captured before,” she wrote with a pic of her and Rosie. “There has been so much beauty to take in and so many wild emotions behind it. What a surreal experience…which is why I haven’t posted in about a week (has it really almost been a week?!) No feeling has ever compared to this. Welcome to the world, Rosie Carolyn Kress. You are so, so loved.”
She continued, “Also, Mama and babe are doing amazing and had the smoothest, most pleasant 40 hour induced labor there could be, honestly! Rosie was also delivered by the same doctor who delivered Nathan, himself. Such a precious and ‘full circle’ moment.”
The super sweet couple welcomed their first child on Thursday afternoon (December 21) and they couldn’t be more overjoyed!
Nathan and London gave their new bundle of joy the most adorable name – Rosie Carolyn!
Nathan took to his Twitter to share the amazing news.
“Rosie Carolyn Kress, born 12/21/17 at 3:59pm. 6 lbs, 6 ounces of utter joy. Mom and baby are doing amazing. I am an emotional wreck. In the good way!” Nathan wrote.

Nathan Kress is a stud in a button up for his NKD Magazine feature.
In the mag, the 25-year-old former iCarly actor spoke about his new role in the Fullscreen show Alive in Denver!
The comedy follows a “group of friends who get together the night before the apocalypse and reveal their deepest secrets to each other…only the the world doesn’t end,” according to Deadline.
“They all start getting freaked out and they all start to reveal their deepest, darkest secrets about themselves, because they figure that they’re all going to die anyway, so why not get everything off their chests,” Nathan said about the show. “They’re left with the fact that they just revealed everything about themselves, and they didn’t die, so now they have to deal with the fallout.”
“It was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done,” he added about filming. “When I read the script for the first time pretty much every page had something that made me laugh out loud, and then I would read the script again five days later, and I would still laugh out loud.”
“If I wasn’t in it I would be a huge fan,” he said.
