When asked about the potential of stepping into the role of a "stage dad" should his son pursue a music career, Ross remained playful, noting he is uncertain but committed to being present for his children. "We’ll see," he remarked. "I don’t know about being a stage dad, but I’ll be there."
Amid their conversation, Ross also mentioned his eldest stepson, Bronx, 17, whom Ashlee Simpson shares with her ex-husband, Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. He shared that the children enjoy listening to music, offering candid opinions on their parents’ work. "They just judge us and see whether we’re good or not," he joked.
