Peter and his wife Erica Schmidt are expecting their first child together later this year and the actor was clearly smitten with his pregnant lady and baby-to-be last night.
In his acceptance speech, Peter thanked his wife, saying, “I love you Erica. You’re amazing, I love you.” Too sweet! And of course, their unborn child was lucky to be able to hear daddy accept his first ever Emmy! What a lucky charm!
“There’s some really good actors up there who could just have easily been holding this,” Peter, who didn’t expect to win at all, told Access Hollywood backstage at the awards ceremony. “Definitely not me. Esteem issues.”
