“It was just so exciting because you just don’t know what to prepare for,” he told the outlet. “You don’t know what’s to come, so the second and third time was really similar to the first experience. We were laughing while she was in labor, literally laughing and cracking jokes and s–t.”
During the chat, Rocky, 37, also discussed how he defines fatherhood, giving us a glimpse into how he’s got the Good Girl Gone Bad completely smitten.
“Being emotionally present, emotionally available, receptive, still endearing, but not only that, loving,” he said about how he tries to show up as a dad for his family. “That’s easy. That’s me all day. That’s just me.”
While he plans to shower his children with love and provide emotional stability, Rocky also acknowledged that his kids will be much more fortunate than he was growing up in Harlem, New York. Still, he made clear that despite the fame and riches of their parents, his children will not depend entirely on their privilege, adding that he wants to “keep them humble.”
“I want to make sure that I teach my boys discipline and keep them grounded, keep them humble as much as possible,” he said. “Because they could be considered nepo babies. I got to make sure they chill with their cousins, the rough cousins that’s going keep them on their toes.”
