In an interview with ET, the 42-year-old hinted that he might not be done with siring children.
“God decides when we’re done, but I believe I definitely got my hands full and I’m so focused. I’m locked in. But when I’m 85, you never know. I might.”
So how does he balance work and his 12 kids?
“Everybody thinks it’s time management. It’s energy management, once we’re all aligned, the flow is a lot easier. If there’s any kind of low frequencies or dissension in there, that’s what messes up the scheduling,” he said.
He continued, talking about co-parenting “As long as we’re all on the same page and we all got the same goal — to be the best parents we could possibly be — that works and then the scheduling is the scheduling,”
