Josh Peck - family, more

Josh Peck and his wife Paige O’Brien actually met on the set of Drake & Josh, where he was the star, and she was working as a fledgling cinematographer. While they started dating in 2011, they kept their romance under wraps in the early stages for the sake of their privacy. Josh Peck ultimately proposed in 2016; the couple tied the knot a year later in 2017 in Malibu surrounded by their close friends and loved ones.

The pair now have three children, and their oldest, Max Milo was born a year after their marriage in 2018. Four years later, Peck and his wife welcomed their second son, Shai Miller into the mix, before Meyer Lane made it a family of five. In 2023 Paige had an open conversation with PEOPLE about some of the challenges she faced along the way.

"I really had every intention of breastfeeding when we had Max, and then I quickly realized that I never produced enough milk. I kind of drove myself crazy for a few weeks, trying to really force it, and then we went to formula and had to try out a bunch of different ones until we found the right fit."

She went on to explain how that shaped her future experiences,

"With Shai, it was the same, and so we gave him Enfamil right from day one in the hospital. That's what our doctors gave us, our pediatrician, and he's been on it ever since."

In the past Josh Peck described his parenting style as taking more of a "laid back" approach. While the last major project to include the actor was Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer in 2023, Josh Peck will be playing the role of Eddie in the upcoming animated film, Ice Age 6.
