Colton Underwood is fully embracing fatherhood.

Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE at the 37th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 5, The Traitors star, 34, opened up about just how quickly his 17-month-old son, Bishop, is growing.

"Well, we have molars growing in, so there's drool everywhere, open-mouth kisses," Underwood said. "I truly call him my human Xanax. He's a breath of fresh air, lights up every room."

"And currently, he's obsessed with light switches," he added. "So yeah, I don't know if he's going to be like a future electrician or what we got going on, but he loves light switches."

Underwood and his husband, Jordan C. Brown, welcomed Bishop via surrogate in September 2024. "Our world is a million times better with you in it," the former Bachelor star captioned an Instagram post at the time, which included a solo picture of Bishop and a snapshot of the family of three posing together.

Underwood previously told PEOPLE that he and Brown, 43, couldn't wait to be parents. “It was one of the things that bonded us early on. We both wanted to be dads. I was very vocal on that,” he said. “It's a traditional sort of part of my life that I really wanted to hold onto — I wanted to have a family."

"And just figuring out next steps and stages was sort of a mystery to us until it wasn't," he continued. "I realized early on, nobody talks about this. There's no resources, there's no books, there's no guide. You sort of get tossed into the fire.”

In February 2024, Underwood launched his podcast, Daddyhood, to share his experience through the fertility journey. He said the couple had their embryos frozen and underwent testing with their surrogate.

Underwood has been candid about the challenges he and Brown faced along the way. “I mean right away, my husband gets his results back for his sperm count, and he had incredible, great numbers, and I got mine back, and all my sperm was dead. And I think immediately, I was just like, 'Oh, what does this mean? It means I'm sterile and can't have kids now.' And it was not a great feeling," he told PEOPLE in February 2024.

"I think one of the reasons why men don't talk about it is it's sort of a blow to the ego. They're just like, 'Why me, I'm an alpha man? How can I not do the most simple task a man can do?' And I very much sort of had that approach going into it," Underwood said of how it affected his self-esteem.
