As for parenting the newborn, McKidd says he and Goldrath, a private chef, divide up the work.
“We take turns [getting up at 5:30 a.m. with her],” he shares with PEOPLE. “I often have to beon the set ofGrey’s Anatomyat6 a.m., so I do it then.”
The actor also opened up about life as a father of two young kids. “I am more relaxed now than I was during my first marriage with my other children,” he says. “I appreciate the process more. It was stressful for me then.”
McKidd announced Nava’s birth in July, writingalongside an Instagram post, “I’m so happy to announce the arrival of our little baboo — Nava James McKidd. She is amazing and our whole family feels blessed.”
Earlier this month, McKidd gave PEOPLEan update on Nava’s older brother Aiden, revealing that the toddler has learned how to run, swim underwater and say one very important phrase.
“It’s pretty amazing,” the proud dad said. “And he’s got certain words now, like ‘hungry’ … and he’s learning how to say ‘I love you.’ Which is a pretty key thing for human beings developmentally; I think we all need to learn how to say the words ‘I love you,’ because we don’t say it enough.”
McKidd, who plays former U.S. Army trauma surgeon Owen Hunt, joinedGrey’s Anatomyduring its fifth season.
