The 33-year-old actor, who recently confirmed he secretly tied the knot with his 'Chosen' co-star, 30, and they are set to welcome their first child into the world later this year, is looking forward to teaching his unborn son to be respectful and "a kind human being."

When asked what kind of father he would be, the former 'One Tree Hill' star confirmed the tot's gender, saying: "Ooh, that's tough. I'm a respect first kind of guy, so I think certain things that I want my son to have is just respect and just to be a kind human being."

The 'Agent Carter' star also hopes their son is sporty.

He told E! News: "I'm a big sports guy, an outdoorsy guy, so I'll be having him fishing at five, six...to take him kayaking and hiking. I just keep thinking in my head, just trying to create 6-foot-5 quarterback."

Chad and Sarah, 30, started dating in August following the actor's split from his 'Left Behind' co-star Nicky Whelan in May 2014.

The heartthrob - who split from Sophia Bush in April 2005 after five months of marriage - previously admitted he can't wait to experience fatherhood.

He said: "I'm a family guy. I want that core.

"I can't wait. I think that's the number one priority in my life. I'm so blessed."
