“What an honor and a privilege it is to watch these two boys grow up.

I can’t imagine anything better.”

Brant started dating fellow actor Kimberly Hidalgo (now Kimberly Daugherty) in October 2016.

The pair married in 2019, by which point they were fully on the same page about their futures.

In fact, the couple had the discussion about kids very early on in their courtship.

Son Wilder David Daugherty was born in March 2021, followed by son Aero Lore Daugherty in December 2023.

And hopefully I’ll make it.

Wilder actually came a bit early, so Brant was unable to get back for the delivery.

They settled on Wilder for the first name but had no debate over his middle one, David.

That was a nod to Brant’s father, who died over a decade before his grandson was born.

“I tell him stories about his grandpa all the time.

For Brant Daugherty, a lot of those have to do with holidays.

For example, the actor and his wife and children are big on family costumes and outfits.

For Halloween 2024, the family went as Ghostbusters for the second year.

Aero got added in as Smiler for year two.

The family also loves to wear identical pajama sets for Christmas each year, as they’ve documented online.

Perhaps it’s no coincidence that younger son Aero entered the world on December 24, 2023.

There is another somewhat atypical Christmas tradition the family has develop, which involves Daugherty’s work.

“So, we’ve got that coming up Friday.

Other than that, we’re just going to spend some time with the family.”
