With the help of his overbearing mother Bonnie, his older brother Danny, and his two best friends Tucker and Riley, Ben works to turn his life around in order to provide for his daughter. Characters Main characters Benjamin Bon Jovi `` Ben '' Wheeler ( Jean - Luc Bilodeau ) : The lead character of the series. He was living the life of a bachelor as a bartender in New York City with his buddy Tucker and his older brother Danny. His life was turned upside down when he opened his apartment door to find a baby girl left at his door by a one night stand. The baby turned out to be his daughter Emma. At the beginning of the series, Ben 's job was the same throughout the series, with the difference in season 4 when he and Danny became owners of the bar. He and Riley, next - door - neighbor and childhood friend of Ben, dated briefly twice. The relationship fails because Ben did n't live up to Riley 's expectations. Eventually, it is revealed how strong Danny 's feelings are for Riley. Ben initially denies this until Bonnie intervenes and points out that `` Danny has loved Riley nearly his whole life '' and tries to get the two together. Throughout Season 6, Ben constantly tries to find Elle, a girl he has fallen for after seeing her three times in the same day during the season 5 finale. In the series finale, Elle is seen looking for Ben throughout the series as well. At the conclusion of the series finale, Elle walks in to deliver Riley 's son and Ben immediately recognizes Elle and they end up going out. Tucker Thurgood Marshall Dobbs ( Tahj Mowry ) : Ben 's best friend and roommate. Tucker is friendly towards everybody as long as they do n't eat his food.

When his father, Marshall Dobbs ( Phil Morris ), finds out about this he is at first furious and disowns Tucker. Mr. Dobbs later approves of Tucker 's career in the same episode.

Danny and Riley eventually end up together in seasons 5. In the season 5 finale, it is revealed that Riley is pregnant after Danny and Riley become very serious.
