"It's great to have a nice career. It's what I wanted to do since I was 8 years old. [But fatherhood] completes me. I've been married one time and I have one daughter, who I love more than anyone in the world. And that's where my world is."

Sam loves to be with his daughter. The two spend tons of time together, and the actor revealed he passed a passion on to his daughter that he himself inherited from his dad. The two often go for walks along the beach near his house, searching for interesting rocks to take home with them.

Sam said he and his dad would often do the same when he was younger, saying proudly, "My dad was a rock hound, I'm a rock hound, my daughter is now a rock hound." Although rock hunting is one of his favorite things to do with his daughter, Sam mostly enjoys just being with her.

It seems Cleo is living a life she's happy with, which comes as a relief to many of her supporters. Although the musician is close to her dad, she has had a rocky relationship with her mom, Katherine. They've grown closer, but at one point, Katherine took out a restraining order against her daughter.

Eventually, Cleo's disdain for her mother resulted in a traumatic incident that left their relationship in pieces. At the age of 26, almost 12 years ago now, Cleo lost her temper and threatened her mother. Katherine reported that her daughter snarled at her, "I want to kill you," and proceeded to follow her around the house.

When Katherine tried to call the police, Cleo grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the phone's cord. The young musician threatened her with the scissors, eventually stabbing her mom in her right arm six times. Following the incident, Katherine procured a restraining order against Cleo.

The court-approved document forbade the musician from coming within 100 yards of Katherine's home, workplace, or car. Neither party commented on the incident, although it seems they have found a way to reconcile. Cleo joined her family for the 2019 Oscars, posing for photos alongside her mom and dad.

Cleo also made a sweet post at the end of 2022, showing her and Katherine working on a puzzle together. The Instagram post consisted of two images of them sitting comfortably by a glass table, sifting through puzzle pieces. The caption read, "Mom and I love a good puzzle."
