Wicked director Jon M. Chu and wife Kristin Hodge welcomed their fifth child, a daughter, into the world Nov. 9—the same day of his film’s Los Angeles premiere, forcing him to miss the star-studded event. The following day, Jon appeared alongside Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey and the rest of the Wicked cast at a FYC screening of the film, where he revealed the name of his newborn daughter.
“My wife had the baby, and I was there to support her while I was watching a livestream of the premiere,” he shared onstage. “Yes, little Stevie Sky Chu.”
Jon had previously announced the arrival of his latest child during the LA premiere.
“I can’t believe this happened while the movie is premiering,” Jon wrote over a short video of Kristin and their newborn together on his Instagram Story. “Magic is in the air. Welcome to our world. You’re gonna do great. You have a lot of witches on your side.”
