He is a single dad of three kids, a process he's discussed in previous instances. “All kids are mine genetically,” he wrote in a Huffington Post essay published in 2017. “Each was born thanks to the generosity of a different surrogate, using eggs from the same anonymous donor.”
“While I don’t rule out adoption in the future, for me it was important to have kids with my DNA. My dad passed away when I was 15 and having my children is a way of him living on through them ― literally," he continued.
Here's what we know about his kids:
