AceShowbiz - NSYNC star Joey Fatone barred his daughters from dating until they turn 18. The 46-year-old pop singer shares Briahna, 22, and Kloey, 13, with his ex-wife Kelly Baldwin and he's revealed he has always had strict rules on when his girls can start dating but he doesn't care whether they bring home boyfriends or girlfriends.
"[I told them] 'You're not allowed to date until you're 18. I don't care if you want to date a guy, a girl or a lamp. It doesn't matter to me, you just can't date,' " Joey told Us Weekly magazine. Joey went on to add he also has strict rules for anyone who wants to date his girls, adding, "Whatever you do to my daughter, I'm going to do to you.' "
The pop star added that even though he's been a parent for more than two decades, he's still learning how to be a good dad. He went on to say, "You have to figure out what's going to make them happy, but also what's going to make you happy … The path that my kids are on, I've been blessed."
Joey split from wife Kelly in 2019 and he previously opened up about how they managed to put their kids first despite their divorce. Speaking on the "Frosted Tips" podcast earlier this year, he explained, "Parenting is always a challenge."
"People always think, you know, you're a celebrity so when you get divorced or you have the kids, you could do the nannies, you have the money, and you got this and that. Well, it's irrelevant. I think all of that money and all that … is really irrelevant … And I get my kid pretty much every other week, if I'm not working or on the road … "
He added, "[Kelly has been] doing an absolute great and amazing job … Just like anything, it's ups and downs. We've been getting together now a lot more often, you know, being able to spend time with our kids together as a group. Sometimes you don't see eye-to-eye with each other, and that's normal. That's life."
