Hi-5 star Nathan Foley talks candidly about fatherhood

Nathan Foley talks candidly about fatherhood… after sending fans into a frenzy by recreating an iconic Hi-5 dance on TikTok

In December last year, he welcomed his first child with wife Nicolette Gomex.

And now Hi-5 star Nathan Foley has spoken candidly about how he’s finding fatherhood. 

The 40-year-old singer told 9Honey this week that he’s a ‘very proud’ dad to son Jackson Joel.

‘He’s a beautiful little kid.. [I’m] very proud to be a dad,’ Nathan told the publication.  

He added that he’s grateful he’s got to spend time with his son during lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic.  

‘Obviously with everything that’s been going on in the world it’s been absolutely awful, but it’s been a blessing for me in a way as well to be home every day and watch him grow,’ Nathan said.

But despite Jackson already developing a love of music, he hasn’t had the chance to see Hi-5 in action.

Heartwarming: ‘He’s a beautiful little kid.. [I’m] very proud to be a dad,’ Nathan said

‘I haven’t exposed him to any of my past life, I think he’s a bit too young for that at the moment but he’ll probably get onto it and go, “Dad! What? I don’t get it. Huh?”

For now, Nathan sticks to humming to the tiny tot to help him fall asleep.   

But that doesn’t mean the children’s entertainer has put his past behind him. 

Earlier this week, Nathan sent fans into a frenzy as he recreated one of the group’s iconic dances on TikTok. 

While fans were impressed by his dance moves, his followers were quick to comment about Nathan’s good looks.

While one remarked: ‘Yep the crush still lives on in me.’
