"He's [Bishop] great. He's doing awesome. The pride and joy and love of my life," Underwood shared with TooFab.

As for how they are juggling parenting responsibilities, Underwood said that the duo swap being "good cop/bad cop."

"We're both going to be. Although I tend to be a little more good cop, but we'll balance each other out. We're a good balance," he said.

The 32-year-old said fatherhood has "completely changed" him.

"I never thought that I could love somebody as much as I do. And that, including my husband, I love him, but there's a different love that you have for your child. And Bishop has changed my life," he shared.

"Yes, returning back to television. Just really fun things coming up, so yeah," Underwood said, staying coy on details. "I'm returning in a different way, and I think it's going to be good for me, healthier for me, and also just feel like I'm contributing more to society and our entertainment industry."
