Ben Savage Returns with More Sweet Baby Snapshots
On Sunday, the former sitcom star gave fans a glimpse into his new dad life, sharing photos from a family walk with Angermeier and their baby girl. “Family of three,” Savage wrote alongside the sweet shots.
The imagery had some fans feeling the passage of time…
“From a young age, you raised so many of us,” one fan wrote in the comments section. “In a way, maybe unfairly, you belonged to the world. But this girl, Mr. Savage, belongs to you and you alone. You deserve to cherish every moment with your baby and know she is a gift to you and yours. Thank you for everything you have done for so many of us.”
Savage and Angermeier announced they were expecting in May. They posted an Instagram photo of them holding a sonogram with the caption, “Arriving this fall.”
“I’m telling Topanga,” one fan joked at the time.
