Jon Hamm, 55, says he's taking a year off work as he prepares to become a first-time dad

Jon Hamm said he is planning to pause his acting career in 2027 to focus on family life after his wife gives birth to their first baby.

Jon Hamm, 55, announced on Thursday that he plans to take a year off work to prepare for his first-time fatherhood. The "Your Friends & Neighbors" star appeared on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM show, "Andy Cohen Live," where he discussed various topics, including his upcoming show, "American Hostage," and his impending parenthood.

Hamm's wife, Anna Osceola, 38, is two months away from giving birth to their first child. Following the birth, Hamm said that he intends to take a year off work. Cohen, who referred to Hamm as the "Nicole Kidman of males" due to both their extensive work ethic, responded, "Well, good, because you're the Nicole Kidman of males."

Over the last few years, Hamm has appeared in 16 TV shows and 12 movies, far surpassing Kidman's 9 and 9, respectively. Pregnant with their first child, the couple, who have been married since 2023, do not know if they are having a boy or a girl. Hamm expressed excitement and nervousness about his impending role as a first-time father, emphasizing that excitement outweighs the anxiety.
