When Gayle asked Robert if the baby was planned and he replied: “Yes, this baby was planned.
“We are over the moon. She was brought here by love.”

Reporter Brittnee Blair said: “I know you have six kids...”, prompting Robert to reply: “Seven, actually. I just had a baby.”
He has since told Access Hollywood he thinks fatherhood is both exciting and “scary”.
Robert added: “Sometimes I don't think people really know what being a good father is, you know you have a responsibility, but it’s a mystery, it’s a lot of excitement but scary and you do your best.”
