07 Sep Whew! Brian McKnight Debuts ‘Fatherhood’ Series Amid Strained Relationships With His Biological Kids

If “I said what I said” was a person, it’d be Brian McKnight and his family dynamics. In his latest attempt at replacing his past with his present, the singer has launched a “fatherhood” series.

The gag is that McKnight’s series is based on parenting his biological infant son with his wife, Leilani, and her two biological children, Julia and Jack. Meanwhile, McKnight’s biological children, Brian Jr., Niko, Briana, and Clyde, appear to have no influence on the singer’s new content.

Here’s What Brian McKnight Shared About His Fatherhood Content

McKnight debuted the first episode of his series titled ‘Fatherhood Fridays’ on Instagram on Friday, Sept. 6. He kicked off the video by saying that he was supposed to have a guest. However, he stated that his guest, by the name of Rick, wasn’t “man enough to have a conversation about fatherhood.” It’s unclear who exactly Rick is.

“Fatherhood Fridays is about how when you do things the right way, with God on your side, with the person made for you, that happiness and joy you feel will be greater than anything you could’ve ever imagined,” Brain stated before flashing to a photo of himself posing with Leilani, their son, and his stepchildren Julia and Jack.

McKnight added that in his 10-plus year relationship with Leilani, he became a bonus dad to Jack and Julia with the blessing of their biological father. “What is a part of her is a part of me also. I have my own personal father-daughter and father-son relationships with them, and as their father, I have the privilege of loving them, molding them, guiding them, and nurturing them alongside their mom. And bringing them to adulthood, frankly, has been one of the greatest pleasures of my life.” Addtionally, as Brian McKnight spoke in the video, photos and clips of him with Jack and Julia independently flashed by.

Moreover, Brian recalled the answers his stepchildren gave when he asked why they respect and love him so much. They both allegedly said, “Because you’re my dad, and all we want to do is make you proud.”

McKnight further explained that Jack is a senior in college and will attend law school next. Meanwhile, Julia recently got her master’s and is studying to be an anesthesiologist. Brian said that a “proud father” doesn’t come close to how he feels, and he explained that his youngest son is what ties their family together by “blood.” He continued to share photos and videos of himself, Leilani, and their blended family. Ultimately, Brian McKnight said he’d be proud of Jack and Julia regardless of their accomplishments because they came from the woman he deeply loves.

“They gave me the gift of true fatherhood,” McKnight said. “They are mine; I am theirs. What we have is symbiotic. They nurture me as much as I nurture them. See, there’s a huge difference when a man is a father out of choice and desire and not out of obligation and that’s what ‘Fatherhood Fridays’ is all about, the joys of fatherhood.”
