“They all do, to some sense,” he said in an interview with E! News. “But it's gonna come down to what they want to do. But are they capable? Yes.”
He also opened up about the possibility of his kids joining him onstage at his highly anticipated Vegas residency, "Vegas... My Way!", which kicks off on February 13th.
His show coincides with his ex Jennifer Lopez's Vegas residency, "Up All Night," which concludes with some shows in March.

Marc Anthony's journey with parenting

"The one regret would be that what I chose to do took so much of my time," he said in an appearance on CBS' Sunday Morning. "What I would have done to have been a stay-at-home dad, and you know, witnessed every second of everything. I would have loved that. Didn't work out that way."
"It's the one thing that just tugs at me going and — that's the biggest sacrifice. And you start to wonder was it all worth it. Was it worth it? You know, on that level."
Most recently, he revealed his mindset as he prepares to welcome his eighth child. “I’m enjoying it. I’m enjoying every second of it," he said. “I’m extremely fortunate.”
