Speaking to E! News Monday in 2014, the actor expressed that he didn't want his kids to follow in his and Mariah's footsteps and be in showbiz. Nick said:

"I actually don't want them to be in the business, but I understand that people have fallen in love with them, and [they have] fans and stuff."

Well, the protective dad seems to have changed his mind about his kids joining Hollywood since then because Monroe is now in the business. Nick's daughter made her modeling debut at ten when she appeared in an advert for OshKosh B'gosh, a kid's clothing company.

Mariah and Nick's twins are still relatively young and will continue to live a lavish lifestyle as the kids of such famous parents. We look forward to finally seeing what other talents these young ones have in store and also hope their dad's wish for them to stay humble comes true as they grow older.
