Dustin has said that growing up in a religious household meant he worried about his sexuality and when he found himself attracted to a boy at age seven, he said to himself: "I'm going to hell. And if I ever admit it, I'll be hurt, and I'll be brought down."

But Dustin, who student Film and Theatre Television at UCLA School of Theatre, came out as gay in his senior year of college.

Oscar-winning screenwriter Lance told BBC Radio 5 live's Afternoon Edition that they plan to raise the tot in the UK.

He said: "We would like to raise our son here and because of that we are going to face some real legal challenges.

"We will take the more difficult path of raising our son here."
