The film Valdez mentions in the post, The Delivery, is a short film (shown below) that he created for the gender reveal moment for his and Candice's bundle of joy.

Also known for his more recent role on Graceland, Valdez starred on GH from 2012 to 2013 as Joe Scully Jr. and Connie Falconeri's con man son, who was left brain dead after a tragic car crash.

Candice is a well-known Radio Disney host who's beyond excited about the birth of her new son.

"I'm so excited to introduce you all to the newest Radio Disney listener!" she shared on Instagram. "Baby Enzo Valdez is here! Thanks to everyone for all the love and support. I am so proud to be his mama! We have been through so much already. He has taught me so much and showed me a level of strength and patience I never knew I had. The word love will never be the same!"
