Who is Pete Chatmon? All about Kelly McCreary's husband as couple welcome first child together

Kelly McCreary, age 40, with husband Pete Chatmon, welcomed their first baby girl named Indigo Wren Chatmon into the world.

Director Pete Chatmon, age 44, and Kelly McCreary met on the set of 'Grey's Anatomy' and started dating in 2017, after which they got married in 2019 and soon decided to start a family.

She added:

'Emotionally, it has been a roller coaster, of course.'

They welcomed Indigo quite a few weeks early into the world but have revealed that she is home in healthy form.

Kelly revealed that they had planned a lovely, intimate home birth, but since her water broke several weeks early, she ended up rushing to the hospital. After the birth, Indigo had to be put in the NICU, but soon after that she was brought home happy and healthy.

Looking at the positive side, Kelly McCreary mentioned that because of the premature birth, she was able to go back to work in time and shoot the midseason finale.

Kelly McCreary calls Pete the "best" husband

Kelly, in an interview with People, admitted that Chatmon is the best husband; who supports her every step, as they both go through this new chapter in their lives.

Kelly McCreary also mentioned that Chatmon was the one who initially wanted to start a family more than she did and it took some persuading because of the career goals she wanted to achieve before hitting motherhood.

Kelly McCreary commented:

"I'm very lucky to have a partner who is just rah, rah, eager for this child to come into our life and find out all of the ways that being parents will disrupt and challenge everything that we have planned."

She further explained:

"But because we are doing it together, we will be able to roll with it. And because this child is so desired and so loved, whatever happens will be the right thing, and we'll make it work."

She later ended her interview by saying that with a lovely husband by her side and a baby girl, she is besieged by blessings.
