He admitted that the couple, who got engaged in late October this year, had “talked about” having a baby in the past – but everything had just fallen into place.

He told the publication’s editor:

“We have the same morals and the same values, that all clicked nicely. So we said, ‘Oh, well, maybe we should have a family,’ ”

He also recalled how his fiancée had suggested they expand their family before tying the knot.

The actor said she suggested “‘maybe we should have a kid [before we get married]’ and I said, ‘Why?’”

And the 31-year-old was quick to joke of her fiancé, “‘Because you’re old.'”

The couple haven’t found out the gender just yet – with Stamos admitting they want to be “surprised” – but the actor said he reckons he’ll be “a fun dad” when the time comes.

He added:

“I think I’m going to be a fun dad, I’ve been practicing for a long time.

“I’ve done every schtick thing you could do with a baby on TV, every slow Elvis song, every joke and bit and diaper gag – I’ll probably just do all that stuff.”

The couple announced their engagement in late October after almost two years of dating.

The Fuller House star popped the question at Disneyland, one of the House of Mouse super fan McHugh’s favourite spots.

He created a short video full of romantic moments form animated Disney and Pixar movies, finishing up with The Little Mermaid – which prompted him to “just ask the girl”.
