Seth Meyers‘ baby boy made a dramatic entrance into the world in the lobby of the comedian and his wife’s apartment building on Sunday. 
 
 The Late Night with Seth Meyers host, 44, welcomed his second child, son Axel Strahl, with Alexi Ashe on April 8, and regaled the audience with the incredible story of his birth just a day later. 
 
 Meyers, who also has a 2-year-old son named Ashe Olson, told his audience Monday that his newborn son Axel couldn’t wait for his parents to arrive at the hospital to make his debut. 
 
 The host thanked the New York Police Department — who arrived just after the baby did and helped cut the cord — and his neighbors, who put towels in the dryer to keep Axel warm until more help arrived. 
 
 “I called 911 and over the course of a minute conversation, I said, ‘We’re about to have a baby — we’re having a baby — we had a baby,’ ” Meyers said.

 The proud new dad began to cry as he spoke about his wife but attempted to play the tears off by joking, “I’m getting choked up thinking about how brave I was.” 
 
 Meyers explained that his son‘s middle name honors Alexi’s grandparents, who met in a hospital in Austria the day after they were liberated from a concentration camp. 
 
 He also showed off a photo of the birth on the show, which depicted his wife lying on the ground holding their son to her chest as emergency personnel held an oxygen mask to her mouth. Meyers knelt beside her, grinning away at the camera.

 Meyers announced he and his wife were expecting their second child on his show in November. The couple welcomed son Ashe in March 2016. 
 
 “A couple years ago on this show, we announced that we were having Ashe and so I wanna take this opportunity now … my wife and I are expecting a second baby,” Meyers said. ||||| Jonathan Rhys Meyers‘ wife has opened up about suffering a miscarriage. 
 
 Mara Lane shared the news on Instagram Sunday morning, telling fans that her husband, a recovering alcoholic, was struggling to cope with the news and the couple “very very much wanted” to have another child. 
 
 “With much sadness, we open our hearts to share that J and I lost our second child, who was baking in the oven,” she wrote. 
 
 “Child was very very much wanted (right now especially by J, so he took the news particularly not so well) and we are still working with coping skills over here… when life throws us curve balls such as these.” 
 
 Lane shared that Meyers, 40, relapsed following the news of his wife’s miscarriage, turning to alcohol to cope. 
 
 “Depression is a real concern from past abuse as well as alcoholism which he was born with. He has been able to turn any ugliness and hurt in his life into art and is the strongest person I know,” she wrote. 
 
 “I do not know anyone who has been through what he has been through and reached his level of successes. It does seem though that every time we seem to be making so much progress… sometimes it’s like two steps forward, one step back.” 
 
 Lane also acknowledged photos of the The Tudors star being escorted by security at Dublin Airport for being too intoxicated to board a flight to Vancouver, Canada. 
 
 “My husband is an Irishman who battles alcoholism and depression and drank between jobs to try to cope with the sadness of this news,” she said. 
 
 “I am trying to and still learning/adjusting to living with the public, like one would as a concerned mother-in-law. I feel that whomever took photos of my husband was slightly in the wrong and was concerned for the wrong reasons but … it’s ok. It’s ok. Maybe you have/had a family to feed and need/needed money? I don’t know. We forgive you.” 
 
 She confirmed that Meyers was recovering, living with a sober companion after being denied admission to a hospital due to a two-month wait list. 
 
 Lane concluded by saying, “Life is life. Life is beautiful. Life is tough sometimes though so let’s try not looking down at someone unless we intend on helping them up.” 
 
 The couple welcomed their first child, son Wolf Rhys Meyers, on Dec. 15, 2016. 
 
 Meyers and Lane have been together since January 2013 and reportedly got engaged in December 2014.
