Taylor Hanson has opened up about her personal life, revealing how he prioritizes fatherhood over fame.
The 41-year-old musician, who is a member of the pop rock band Hanson, shared that at home he is just a "dad" to his kids.
For those unversed, Taylor shares seven children with his wife Natalie - sons Ezra, 19, River, 15, Viggo, 13, and Indiana, 3, and daughters Penelope, 17, Wilhelmina, 9, and Maybellene, 18 months.
Speaking to People magazine, Taylor shared his kid's relationship with music.
"You definitely see the way they reflect on what it is to have a musical family," he said.
"You also see that people are going to be who they are. I have some that are extremely like, 'I want to be on stage. I want to be a drummer. I want to play music.' One of my boys said at one point, 'You know, Dad, I think I want to control the musicians, not be one.' I was like, 'Okay, that's scary.' Future manager,” the musician further said.
"Even though we're parents, and we've seen our kids get older, we're doing many of the things that we were doing back when we were teenagers, and they've seen that," he continued.
"Especially with my older kids, they've really seen what it means to go on tour. They know that it's going to be a lot of fun, for sure, but it's a lot of work. Hopefully they get and appreciate that side of it,” Taylor added.
