Scott Wolf was hundreds of miles away when he received word that his wife Kelley was in labor with their first child. And after a bit of late-night partying the night before, the actor wasn’t in the best position to fly to her side!
“I was in Vancouver [shooting the pilot for V] and my wife calls early on a Saturday morning. She’s like, ‘It’s happening; you gotta get on a plane,’” Wolf recalled during a Tuesday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
