Summary
- Jesse Williams welcomed his third child, his first with partner Alejandra Onieva.

- Williams is already a father to two children from his previous marriage.
Actor Jesse Williams, 45, has welcomed his third child, his first with partner Alejandra Onieva, 34. The couple announced the arrival by recreating a scene from Spike Lee's 1989 film 'Do the Right Thing' on Instagram. The reenactment included baby bottles and Spanish speech, nodding to Onieva's Spanish background.
Williams is also the father to daughter Sadie, 11, and son Maceo, 10, from his previous marriage to Aryn Drake-Lee. News of Onieva's pregnancy first surfaced in May of this year, with photos confirming her baby bump.
Williams and Drake-Lee's divorce was finalized in 2018 after a contentious custody battle. They have since continued to navigate custody arrangements, particularly after Williams temporarily relocated to New York for a Broadway role in 2022.
