Kevin Liles,Executive Vice-President of the Warner Music Group,Kevin Jr,10, and Kayla,8.
Executive Vice-President Kevin Liles didn’t always find time with his kids:he was too busy climbing up the ladder in the music industry. From an unpaid intern at Def Jam Records to Executive Vice President of Warner Music Group,Kevin has “Made It Happen.” Mr. Liles finds that the greatest moments in his life,however, are spent with his kids:
“I’m the oldest of four and was a young father at 21. I’ve always taken responsibility seriously. I made sure to provide for and protect my family. But I wasn’t there early on for my younger kids’ first steps or to watch Dora the Explorer with them because I was in my ‘make it happen’ years.Now I’m in my ‘make a difference years.’ I used to think that spending quality time with your child meant doing things,but sometimes it’s just being still with them-watching how they view things on the computer or what hand they’re learning to dribble with. Every moment matters.”
Liles also has an older daughter,Kristian,19,from a previous relationship.

Musician and producer Wyclef Jean sees great potential for his daughter Angelina Claudinelle,who Wyclef and wife Claudinette adopted from Haiti in March 2005:
My wife Claudinette,and I have had Angelina,who is Haitian and Guyanese,since she was about 3 days old,so I see her as ours. On our first night together,we just lay there gazing at our daughter,playing with her.It was really emotional.You always hear tales about how being a parent will change you,but it’s not until the child comes that you start to trip out.Growing up with West Indian parents was tough love for me. I got whupped.But the way my father raised me actually made me stronger.However,I’ve decided that with my daughter,if there’s something that i don’t agree with,I’ll just sit her down and we’ll talk. I’m so excited about watching her grow into the woman she’ll become. I can already see that she has such potential and a great heart.”

It seems that in Hollywood,One cannot get married without the media thinking that there is a baby on board.The media thinks no differently about newly weds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon(pictured to the right at Disney Magic Kingdom on 5/13):
Mariah Carey and new husband Nick Cannon have fueled rumors they’re set to start a family after one of Mimi’s assistants reportedly called LA based Petit Tresor to chat about nursery decor.
A source said that the assistant asked the store if they could send fabric samples and if its designers could work with the theme of butterflies.
Petit Tresor have just finished decorating another show-biz nursery for the Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony twins.
Despite the preparations, Mariah’s manager, Benny Medina, insists the 38-year-old is not pregnant, although Mimi has been quoted saying that having children is “part of the whole purpose of getting married.”
These new revelations come just a few weeks after Mariah admitted her and MTV star Nick Cannon had got married in the Bahamas.

“I was there with my wife Desiree when each of our children was born, and although i know it’s humanly impossible to be there every second of every day,it’s a joy to watch as their personalities blossom.The greatest reward is when the lessons,thoughts and ideas you’ve tried to teach them begin to connect.They’re constantly evolving,and i love every minute of being their father.”
“Their grandmother,my mother,used to always say,’Don’t let anybody shake your tree’.When you know who you are,nobody can take you off your game,and I want to empower my kids with a sense of self so that they know who they are-in their heritage,their culture,as human beings and as children of God.It’s important to me that they carry themselves with boldness and humility.
