Charly Boy admits it was difficult

Charly Boy said accepting the news was initially difficult, particularly when his younger daughter first told him.

He explained that part of his concern at the time was that she had not had children, unlike her older sister, who had already built a family.

However, his perspective gradually changed as he considered his daughters’ happiness and independence.

The entertainer noted that his older daughter is a mother of six and also has a great-grandchild, making him realise that she is an adult capable of making decisions about her own life.

Charly Boy said he did not want disagreements over his daughters’ personal choices to damage their relationship.

He explained that as long as his children are independent and not demanding money from him, he believes their lives belong to them.

The veteran entertainer also reflected on modern parenting, saying parents can advise younger generations but cannot dictate every decision they make.
