There is no doubt that Mr. Pokora is a protective dad, who wishes the best possible future for his two sons Isaiah and Kenna, born of his union with singer and actress Christina Milian. To do this, the 37-year-old artist is betting almost everything on education. Last December, he spoke on the subject on the set of Do not touch My TVspeaking of his eldest, because his youngest was not yet born.
“The goal is to raise him as I was raised, rub shoulders with all kinds of people. And then the school of sport, I think it’s going to be important for him. I want him to do sport just to know that you have to earn your place. It’s not stealing your boyfriend’s place, it’s earning yours. All these values that I learned while playing sports. I will raise it in these values and open it to the world, between France and the United States“, he had thus declared.
We often reproduce what our parents do
But from the moment these “values” are transmitted, they are free, when they are older, to exercise the profession or the passion they wish. At least, that’s what their father suggested this Monday, November 14, 2022 on the set of C to youon France 5, when he was questioned about it and led to watch videos of his children making music and watching a football match, which are his two main interests.
He then used his own experience to answer. “We often reproduce what our parents do. My father, I saw him playing football every weekend on the lawns. So I wanted to do the same. If it can arouse a passion in them, that’s fine, but I won’t push them under any circumstances, that’s for sure.“, he explained, before adding that this role of father allows him in particular to explore new horizons as a singer, he who has just made his great musical comeback with the release of his new album Epicenter.
“It is these new obligations and this new duty as a father that also lead me to write songs and tackle themes that resonate stronger with me now that I am a dad.“, he then clarified. It remains to be seen whether Isaiah and Kenna will follow in the footsteps of their fathers as a singer, or not. Case to follow!
