Being a father of two makes more than enough for actor, comedian and television personality Wayne Brady.

His unorthodox family dynamic has been documented on Freeform reality TV series Wayne Brady: The Family Remix, which co-stars Brady, his ex-wife Mandie Taketa, their 21-year-old daughter, Malie, and Taketa's boyfriend, Jason Michael Fordham. But with a blended family and son, Val Henry, whom Brady welcomed with his ex-girlfriend Tina, The Wiz star has decided that his family is complete.

Brady and his family appeared on The Talk on Monday (Sept. 23), where he shared that he's been told to get a vasectomy so many times, that he now plans to do so.

Around the 2:15-minute mark of the video below, Talk co-host Sheryl Underwood asked about the "running joke," but Malie said she "thought [the vasectomy] was happening."

"You know what? I will get a vasectomy," Brady confirmed. ""Yeah. Look, I've already got two [kids]. I'm 52. I'm not Moses or somebody from the Bible that needs to go forth. Nope. I'm done. In fact, I should schedule an appointment right after the show."

"Keep that seat right there. Take a self-care weekend. Get some ice. Start praying," Malie joked.

Wayne revealed to People earlier this year that he "was shocked" after Tina shared that she was pregnant in 2022.

"I asked the silly question that I think many men since the beginning of time have asked. “’How?’ You know how! So get past it."

But Brady has chosen to be a present father, wanting Val to feel as accepted as his older sister.

"I never want Val to grow up thinking that he should be ashamed or look back and go, ‘Oh, my dad didn't want me,’ or he was ashamed of me." he continued. "Because I want him, in his own way, to know that I love him as much as I love Maile, who is of me and that I had a part in creating. So I had to do that work."
