Daniel Gillies talks to JJ about his lovely wife Rachael Leigh Cook and their two-week-old bundle of joy in a new interview!

We caught up with him while on set of his new show The Originals in Atlanta where he gushed over Rachael and their baby girl Charlotte Easton.

“My wife is the greatest gift I ever received,” Daniel exclusively told JJ. “She came [to Atlanta] eight months pregnant, found us an apartment to live in, transported our dogs, cars – I helped with this obviously – but she brought her life down here.”

Daniel added, “Her mother too, who I adore, and she got her nest set up here in that last month. She found new physicians, new OB-GYN’s, new pediatricians. Everything was going to happen in L.A. and then, it was all for me.”

As for Charlotte, he told reporters that they dance and sing with her every single day. Too cute!!!
