Donald Glover revealed he welcomed his third child with his partner Michelle White during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The actor and musician shared the news of his son's birth during a recent interview with GQ.

"You know, I had [a kid] during the coronavirus," the "Community" alum confessed. "It was nuts."

Glover went on to explain that his son was born around the time George Floyd died while in police custody.

"My son had just been born, like, an hour before and I was watching the George Floyd video," he said. "It was such a weird moment. It was such an intense, weird moment."

He said it was difficult to process the video of Floyd begging with officers for his life when, just an hour before, "I had just had this amazing, joyful, expanding moment."

Glover explained the personal meaning behind his son's name. "My dad had passed away recently, so [my son] was named after my father," he shared.

"The Lion King" star admitted that he felt a myriad of emotions in the hospital room and he experienced "the empathy and compassion and the terror and the joy of it."

Glover, however, said he is keeping his thoughts positive as he and his partner raise their third child together. In fact, they're already talking about having another.

"My family adopting kids ... and we actually have been talking about [it], because we have three boys so I’m like, 'Oh, it might be nice to be get a girl in there,'" he said.

Glover and White, who have been together since 2016, also share sons Legend and Drake.
