Parenthood keeps tearin' up Lance Bass' heart.
Less than two years after the *NSYNC member and his husband Michael Turchin welcomed twins via surrogate, the couple can't believe all of the personality traits daughter Violet Betty and son Alexander James are already showing.
"The fact that they're now running up to you and hugging you is the best feeling in the world," Lance shared with E! News in an exclusive interview. "Our son and daughter are very opposite of each other, which I love. She's the type that will just be in the corner reading a book. She's so independent. She's like, ‘I got this.'"
As for Alexander, Michael is quick to call him a "ball of crazy energy" after he made Lance a little nervous with his interests.
Last month, the couple brought their 16-month-old kids to Songs for Tomorrow, a benefit concert for mental health and inspired by the life of Aaron Carter. After Alexander saw the stage, Lance says he immediately showed an interest in the world of music.
"I think he got the entertainment bug, because we took them out of a club here called HEART Weho," Lance recalled. "They saw Nick Carter and everyone rehearsing and my son was just in awe. He had to get on stage. He held a microphone for the first time and he knew. I'm like, ‘Oh no, we might have a performer.'"
While Lance made it clear he will support his kids in whatever they want to do, the boy band member has some hesitation about his son committing to the music industry.
"In entertainment? Fine, but be a guitarist," Lance joked. "I don't want them to be the face of anything because that's just a lot of pressure and not many people can handle that. You don't want your kids to have to deal with so much hate. They're gonna get enough hate just for us being their parents anyway. I would like to them to be a little unknown if I had my wishes."
For now, Lance and Michael are simply savoring every moment with their kids. They also are taking some time to look back on some unforgettable pop culture moments in iHeartRadio's new podcast, Frosted Tips.
Every week, Lance and Michael will help listeners navigate the ups and downs of parenting, marriage and everything in between. And yes, you better believe they are going to talk about all things related to boy bands.
"We had this idea of Frosted Tips to really bring everyone back to a fun time in their lives," Lance said. "A time where teen idols were just the best thing in your life. You didn't have a worry in the world. But this time, you get to hear the real stories of what went down. All of us boy band members are friends, we're all sharing stories, and now, we're not afraid to ask about certain things."
