The actor spilled the beans during a chat with James Corden on The Late Late Show.
“This is something I haven’t even mentioned to anyone, if we could just keep it between the three of us and you all, but I’m actually expecting a baby in July with my husband,” he said.
“I’m very excited, but it feels like I’m 44 now, let’s get this show going. Tick tock,” Ferguson added.
Ferguson found fame playing Mitchell Pritchett on hit US sitcom Modern Family.
The show, which followed closet company owner Jay Pritchett and his family, wrapped up this year after 11 series.
