So cute: Max Adler welcomed his first child Dylan Remington Adler with wife Jennifer on Friday in Los Angeles
Dylan was born Friday, March 27th at 5:25 am in Los Angeles, weighing six pounds, five ounces, he revealed on his Instagram account.
The TV star, who played Dave Karofsky on Glee, added to Page Six: ‘Both mentally/emotionally on behalf of our son, and logistically regarding what might happen at the hospital when we arrived on the day.’
Max thanked their OB, Dr. Tally Silberstein as well as the ‘amazingly helpful, sweet and supportive staff’ at the Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center.’
He told the outlet: ‘We were aware, per friends and per the internet, that many hospitals nationwide were no longer allowing spouses to enter the hospital and be present for the birth which terrified us.’

Max added: ‘The thought of my wife having to go through labor on her own or me being stuck outside without knowing what was happening or being in the room to support her was frightening.’
However, ‘everyone reassured us that I would be allowed in as this particular hospital had invoked a one person rule, and the delivering mother was allowed to bring one person in the room with her.’
Max said that he could ‘definitely feel a change in the atmosphere’ at the hospital, a different experience than when they had during the hospital tour in February.
He said he and wife Jennifer had to get their temperatures taken upon arrival for labor with everyone wearing masks and gloves, as well as signs posted all around to wash your hands and practice social distancing.

Max, who announced Dylan’s arrival with a sweet snap of the newborn, said Jennifer was in labor for 24 hours and also lost her mother the day before.
He told the outlet: ‘I also must thank my champion warrior Goddess of a wife for powering through a 24-hour labor during this stressful global pandemic, and on top of that, her mother had passed away the day before, not related to coronavirus.’
Max and Jennifer tied the knot on December 19, 2015, three years after getting engaged in Rome; they revealed their baby news in January.
