Jay Ellis is prepared to face the upcoming chaos with his second child
Ellis and Senicar welcomed their first baby, a daughter named Nora, back in 2019. Nina Senicar shared the exciting news of being pregnant again as she dropped a pic on Instagram, flaunting her second baby bump. She captioned, “And just like that… Baby Nr. 2 loading!” Despite the overburdening responsibilities that will come with the new child, Ellis is all prepared to welcome the new “chaos” with a big smile.
The Top Gun: Maverick actor shared his optimism to nurture another kid as he looks forward to growing his second child with all goodness. He remarked, “What is life if we're not experiencing chaos and figuring out how to navigate it? I get the opportunity to bring another kid into the world and hopefully do something good, do some good, and leave them with something good. Hopefully, they get to move through the world with some of the things that I'm able to teach them and do some good themselves.”
With the upcoming baby, Ellis will also release his memoir on July 30, 2024. His memoir follows his life journey from childhood, revealing intricate details from being raised in a military family, to his special bond with Mikey and an imaginary friend of his childhood.
“I think there's a vulnerability thing, too, that I didn't clock. I was going to have to open up in a way where it was me opening up versus me performing a character who's opening up,” the actor added, acknowledging that writing his memoir helped him to understand himself better. “There's so many little things that make us who we are. I don't think I really realized how much so many things influenced who I am today until I wrote the book.”
With Ellis gearing up to release his memoir, the new phase of his life of being a dad of two is surely gonna overwhelm him with new responsibilities. As the actor looks forward to embracing his upcoming future filled with baby chaos, his memoir serves as a stark reflection of his past, allowing his fans to understand him better.
