Montana Jordan is loving being a dad.
Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the CBS Hosts Sit-Down Comedy Event in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Sept. 18, The Young Sheldon star, 21, opened up about how much he's enjoying fatherhood after welcoming a baby girl called Emma Rae Jordan with his girlfriend Jenna Weeks in May.
“It's been great for me, man. There's nothing better.” Jordan, who played Georgie Cooper on the popular series, tells PEOPLE. “She's 4 months old now and I've got two little nieces, a five-year-old niece and a two-year-old niece. So I've been around kids and I've always loved them, but I can give my nieces back.”
“I can't give mine back. I'm stuck with her,” he jokes. "I'm just kidding. No, but she's great, man. There's nothing better than freaking being a dad. There's nothing better, for sure.”
As for what his new addition has taught him since she arrived, Jordan adds, “To be patient. To be patient. yeah.”
Jordan announced he’d welcomed his first baby in an Instagram post shared on May 21 which showed the actor cradling his little girl, who was swaddled in a pink and white blanket and wearing a matching hat with a pink satin bow.
"5/21/2024 God has blessed me with a beautiful babygirl. Emma Rae Jordan, Momma and Daddy love you. Forever and always," he captioned the photo.
Since then, the star has been documenting his daughter’s first few months on his social media, including when she joined him on the set of his upcoming Young Sheldon spinoff Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage.
“Emma Rae on set of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. #gmfm,” Montana wrote alongside a cute Instagram shot of himself holding Emma Rae and a clapboard.
Opening up to PEOPLE about what fans can expect from the new show, Jordan says, “I mean, coming into Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, you can kind of tell what it's going to be about from the characters of Young Sheldon, but we're going to continue that storyline and you get to see all the fights and all the ups and downs of everything."
"And just like Young Sheldon was relatable, we're hoping this is going to be just as relatable and that's going to drag everybody into watching it," he adds.
