Watkins, who played gay lawyer Bob Hunter on Desperate Housewives, told Osmond: “A lot of people at some point in their lives think, ‘Am I going to be a parent? Do I want to be a parent?’ And when I was young, I knew three things: I knew I was gay, I knew one day I was going to be a dad, and I knew that Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was going to be the best movie of all time.
“So far,” he added, “I’ve been right about all three.”
Watkins said he’s the proud father of four-month-old twins Catchen and Curtis, who were born via a surrogate.
