Hilarie and Jeffrey welcomed their first child together, son Augustus “Gus” Morgan, on March 14, 2010. Jeffrey, with the help of a midwife,delivered their son.

The actress has given glimpses into Gus' life over the years, including his love forElvis Presley.

“Gus went through a massive Elvis phase when he was 6. We listened to @sxmelvisradio every day. Obviously, his hair and wardrobe were influenced,” she wrote onInstagram, describing his newfound love forBaz Luhrmann’s 2022Elvisfilm.

The Rural Diariesauthor also opened up about Gus being a fan of his dad’sThe Walking Deadcharacter,Negan, and shared the sweet gesture that accompanied it.

“Our son has aNegan poster in his bedroomand a friend came over recently and he was like, ‘Why do you have a poster of your dad?’ " Hilarie told PEOPLE in 2023. He responded, “Because my dad’s awesome.”

A few years prior, in 2021, Gus even landed a role as a young walker in Jeffrey’s series as his acting debut.

“My dude. Me, @hilarieburton and George THATS MY BOY!!We are super proud of Gusy Dean,” the father-of-two wrote onInstagram. “Thanks to @amcthewalkingdeadand @gnicotero for making a dream come true… a damn hoot!”

Like both of his parents, Gus has an interest in the arts and has starred in their local community theater productions, includingA Christmas Carol.

“My dude loves theater and so it was fun to go on the backstage tour (thank you to our guides!) where he was allowed to put on Andy Griffith’s armor from his time in the production,” she shared onInstagram. “Pretty soon this teenager will be too cool for his ol mom, so I’ll take these dates any time I can get em. Xo.”

Stardom aside, Hilarie is involved in her kids' day-to-day activities, like participating in their school’s parent-teacher-student organization.

Hilarie continued, “More losses followed, and as so many couples know, it was heartbreaking. It still is heartbreaking. If anything, my wish is that she would restore hope for others.”

Just like her brother, Jeffrey delivered George with the help of a midwife. “The first time I didn’t know, I was shocked that I was part of it. I thought I was going to hold the leg, tell her to hopefully breathe and I wasn’t ready when I took my position,” he told PEOPLE in 2018. “This time I was a little bit more prepared and got in andgot her out immediately.”

Jeffrey is a proud girl dad and often posts sweet snaps of him and George together, which is no surprise to Hilarie. “Going through my camera roll, and damn near every picture is just these two in love,” Hilarie wrote onInstagram. “They are the same person. So naturally, I adore the both of them.”

George — who has beeninvolved in balletand has even played dress-up withher mom’s pink wigfromHilarie’s cameoonThe Walking Dead— doesn’t mind rolling up her sleeves and working on the family’s farm.

She can frequently be seen in the background on her parents’ Instagram pages tending to the animals on the property, which include cattle, donkeys, dogs, chickens, ducks and alpacas.

“The farm is no joke. It’s work,” Jeffrey told theNew York Postin 2020. “I’m in charge of all the animals, and Hilarie is in charge of the gardening.”

“We strolled. We hit the food court. We got new sneakers. Clothing selections were a mix of unicorns, goth girl and velour track suits,” the actress wrote onInstagram. “She came home and did a fashion show for dad and Gus. Mall culture is due for a renaissance! Morgan girls are here for it!”
