Speaking exclusively to WHO, the doting father shows off images of his newborn son, Levi, and reveals the overwhelming emotion he felt after his birth in Los Angeles on May 14.

“As soon as you meet them and you see yourself and your partner in this little person, it’s just completely life changing,” says Le Nevez, best known for his role playing Dr Patrick Reid on Network Ten series Offspring. “Literally, in that second everything changes and you just get a huge shot of love in the heart.”

While Le Nevez's partner of six years, Michelle Smith, 34, is nursing their newborn son at their West Hollywood home, the actor is staying in touch through Skype while he films the next series of TV drama Love Child in Sydney. "It's such a beautiful thing for me to watch, to see this woman I've been in love with for years become this incredible mother, so effortlessly," he says, admitting he can't wait to be reunited with his family in Australia in the coming weeks. “It’s crazy, every day we Skype he looks slightly different, and he becomes more alert and awake. It’s an amazing feeling. I’m literally counting the days until they arrive.”
