Chad Michael Murray is one delighted dad.

The One Tree Hill star, who on Monday welcomed a newborn girl with wife Sarah Roemer, opened up about expanding his family in a Friday appearance on Live! With Kelly.

'We have a 22-month-old boy and now we have a few day-old girl and we’re so blessed,' said the 35-year-old Buffalo, New York native, noting that he and Roemer 'just divvy the responsibilities' now that they're parents of two.

'We’re so blessed': Chad Michael Murray, 35, opened up on Live! With Kelly Friday about the past week, in which he welcomed a baby daughter with wife Sarah Roemer

Parents-of-two: Murray and Roemer, 32, were snapped in January at a Hollywood premiere

'Turns out I can’t breastfeed, so she has to take that responsibility,' the 6ft actor joked, to which Friday's co-host, comedian Chris Hardwick, joked, 'You don’t want it bad enough, you just gotta keep trying.

'Just gotta do it bro, just gotta keep at it, you gotta want it.'

The one-time teen idol said he's been focusing on his son, whose name he and Roemer have yet to reveal publicly.

The charismatic Murray has been seen on a number of show, most notably One Tree Hill and Sun Records

Taking it in stride: The star said that he's been tending to their toddler son while his spouse has cared for their baby girl

'It’s one of those things where now I’m just taking on 100 percent of the boy’s responsibilities, our boy, he's very much a daddy's boy - and she’s taking care of our daughter at the moment,' the Sun Records star said.

Ripa said, 'You’ll see, that [dynamic] will switch.'

Murray responded, 'That’s what I’m hearing,' calling his current parenting situation 'the greatest thing in the world.'

Smooth sailing: Murray said his boy has taken well to having a baby sister so far

The Agent Carter star said his son is already 'getting used to' having a younger sibling.

'He jumps in bed now, in the morning, and he goes, "Baby, baby," and he smiles and that means it’s OK, she can stick around for a little while. He’s just not allowed to throw those blocks anymore in the house.'

Murray wed Disturbia actress Roemer two years ago. He was previously married to One Tree Hill co-star Sophia Bush from 2005 until 2006.
