t’s been a whirlwind 15 months for
Chris and Sarah Wragge, who married in 2015 and welcomed their
first son, Christian Price Wragge II,
in August.
“It’s funny, a lot of the people
that are close to me say, ‘Time has
really changed for you,’ and I welcome
that with open arms,” Chris says.
“I couldn’t wait to be a dad, but first
I had to find the right person.”
The right person was his wife, Sarah,
who is a partner in her own successful
television production company and had

2015 that we wanted to start a family as soon as possible,” Chris recalls.
“We thought it might not happen right

moment to reflect.
“Everyone tells you how having a
child will change your life and you will
never be able to love something any
more than that,” he says. “Fatherhood
is all they told me and more. To hold
him for the first time… and when I’m
holding him, I just love this little guy so
much it makes me cry! I get very emotional. Until you have one yourself, you
don’t totally understand what it means
to have this little boy or girl who will
rely on you for the rest of their life. I
really relish that.”
Chris’s joy expounds as he shares his
special moments with young Christian.
“I went from nine months of talking
to the baby inside my wife’s belly and
then I met this person for the first
