You were born to be a Dad. You’re so patient and nurturing. You take care of all of us, and we are so grateful to have you. We love you so much.
Devan and Jesse’s path to growing their family was a tough one; they faced the heartbreak of pregnancy loss
Devan Long and Jesse Golden faced a tough road while aiming to become parents. Their journey was filled with sadness and strength. Now they’re super happy with their baby boy Beøwulf, but it took them ages of trying and the grief of losing pregnancies.
Back in 2021, they went public with the tough news that they’d lost a pregnancy. They opened up to help people dealing with the same experience. Golden put out a touching clip that captured their happiness when they learned they were going to have a baby in 2020, only for that joy to be short-lived.
Long’s spouse looked back on their tough times in a June 2023 post on Instagram. Along with a new clip featuring the actor, she wrote,
This is us…BUT won’t you don’t see is the three year+ struggle we have had trying to conceive.
They kept their spirits up through all the “mini ups and huge lows.” As 2023 came to a close, they were thrilled to tell everyone they were going to have a baby.

Now, Devan and Jesse are savoring every second with Beøwulf and letting all their fans in on their joy.
Jesse’s son prepared her and Devan for parenthood and now helps them raise his younger brother
Jesse Golden was a single mom to her son Kaleo Golden before she met her current husband, Devan Long. She gave birth to Kaleo at home on May 8, 2004. Her mom and grandma stood by her side during this special moment.
Kaleo has grown up and now plays a big role in helping his baby brother Beøwulf. Jesse likes to show off their close family ties on social media. She posts sweet videos of Kaleo looking after his little brother.
In one post, she captioned a video of Kaleo babysitting, saying,
“The best part about having two boys 20 years apart.”
Kaleo loves to surf and explore, just like Jesse enjoys being close to nature. His growing up has no doubt helped Jesse and Long get ready for their new family adventure.
Despite not being related by blood, the Ghosts actor and his stepson share a strong bond. Their relationship is solid.
@jessegolden They are going to be 20 years apart😳🥰 @kaleogolden2 #pregnanttiktok #pregnantbelly #pregnantlife #pregnantover45 #expecting #babybump #blueeyes ♬ original sound – Spotify.7483
With Jesse taking on the role of mother to Devan from day one and Devan quickly adapting to fatherhood in the past few years, together, they have gained valuable experience in parenting. So, in many ways, Kaleo prepared them for parenthood.
