“It’s a blessing and it’s a wild ride every single day. It’s a lot handling a toddler, but they will have plenty of help with Alexa and her family- I know them. They’re all going to be good… I’m excited for them," he shares.
Bowden is also looking forward to raising kids alongside one another. “We’re going to have play dates,” he tells PEOPLE. “They don’t live too far from me, so we’ll probably have some play dates in the future…me and Brennon talk about being T-ball coaches together, so that’d be pretty cool.”

“It’s crazy that we had these conversations two and a half years ago and we are here now," he adds of his friendship with Brennon.
Bowden’s son recently celebrated his first birthday in December. “We had a birthday party for him - a basketball-themed party,” he says. “He’s a big boy, he just started walking.”
In his one year with Hayden, thePerfect Matchstar says his favorite milestone was hearing his son say “Dada” for the first time.
“I think Dada was my favorite moment and he says it all of the time now- it’s his main word. But also when he started to look up and recognize me and reach for me, that is my favorite moment of being a father. So it’s a good feeling… milestones.”
In terms of finding love while parenting, Bowden jokes that he is “looking for Hayden’s stepmom.” “I’m focused on parenting, but I wouldn’t shy away from a relationship or getting to know somebody seriously.”
Bowden is enjoying this season of life and how it has changed him. “I hope that every man can experience fatherhood,” he says. “I’m so lucky to have Hayden in my life and it’s definitely changed me as a person.”
