Former Welcome to Plathville star, Max Kallschmidt, is officially a dad!
On Thursday, July 4, Moriah Plath's ex-boyfriend took to Instagram to announce that he and his wife, Mckayle Buckley, welcomed their first child together.
"Kaptain Clay Kallschmidt ~ my freedom baby ????," Kallschmidt and Buckley wrote in a joint update, which has since been removed. "I love you already Kaptain ???? The best 4th of July present ??."
