He’s a squishably cute pterodactyl cooing tiny wonder and I love him so much already,” Zelda wrote. “Big shoutout to Mickey on being the fastest swimmer, and huge congrats to @heyoliviajune and my big bro @zakpym on creating this little joy (and poop) factory!”

Since joining us, she’s getting on amazingly with her big brother @mickeycwilliams and has proven to be one laid-back little girl. @heyoliviajune is doing awesome and we are over-the-moon to be welcoming Zola into the world!,” he wrote.

Mental Health Advocate

Zack is a mental health advocate, as well as his fiancée, and founder of a tech startup company. In a biography about his father, named Robin, Zak recalled his father, saying he kicked himself multiple times for not visiting Williams during that time. He stated, “Because I think that was a very lonely period for him. In retrospect, I feel like I should have been there, spending time with him. Because someone who needs support was not getting the support he needed.”

The Oscar-winning actor’s death in 2014 was a shock to the world after he had checked himself back into rehab in a bid to stay sober. The actor was battling depression and early stages of Parkinson’s disease. He was 63-years-old at the time of his death.
