Beloved singer, actor, producer, and former *NSYNC bass singer Lance Bass has given an adorable update about raising twins with his husband.
Bass, 47, and Michael Turchin welcomed Alexander and Violet via surrogate on October 13, 2021 (per People), meaning the twins are now almost five years old.
The star, who rose to fame in the 1990s and counts season 7 of “Dancing with the Stars,” “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” and “Zoolander” among his many screen credits, recently spoke to E! News to tell the world how fatherhood is going and which part of parenting makes him happiest.
Lance Bass Is Having ‘Such a Blast’ With Fatherhood
Lance Bass is in his element as a father — one might say he’s “in sync” with it — and he revealed E! News that being a dad was “such a blast.”
Speaking to E! News correspondent Erin Lim Rhodes on Wednesday, August 12, during the Creator Cam livestream at the “Cocktail Wars” premiere party in New York City, Bass said, “I am loving dad life so much.”
He continued, “As tiring as it is, especially with twins, it makes me so happy to get up in the morning, fix their lunches, fix their breakfast, get them ready for school, drop them off.”
The 47-year-old added that, while he’ll be happy watching them succeed in kindergarten, he also knows it won’t be easy seeing them head out into the big wide world without him and husband Michael Turchin.
Bass said, “We got one more year before life is over over, when they start real kindergarten.”
He went on, saying, “It’s sad to see them grow so quickly, but it also warms my heart to see that they’re thriving and happy kids — and that just makes me happy.”

In the meantime, Bass is keeping busy away from his dad responsibilities with his new show: the aforementioned “Cocktail Wars.”
