The daughter of Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle has been encouraged by her father Jason Bell to follow in her mother's musical footsteps.
The “Love Machine” hitmaker, 38 — recently reunited with his bandmates from the chart-topping 1990s girl group for a tour — and the retired former NFL player's 7-year-old daughter Aniyah Bell. has already written her own song and it surprised her father.
He said on the Parenting Hell podcast: Her writing is incredible. Her understanding of music is something she has inherited.
“I think she's definitely going to go into the arts. I can see her writing music. I can certainly see her going in that direction.
“I try to encourage her to play sports, but she always says, 'You don't have to like me because I like you.' I thought, 'That's really true.'
Jason, 45, also gushed about how great of a mum Nadine is.
He said: “I always tell her daughter, 'You have the best mother in the world.' You're so lucky.
“It was truly an honor to have such a mother for my daughter.”
The pair split in 2019 after 11 years together, but Jason moved in with them during the coronavirus lockdown to spend more time together.
Nadine previously spoke about co-parenting with Jason: It's all about supporting and being there for each other.
“Due to COVID-19, Jason has been here for a while. We share Anaiyah, so we have rules there so that people can raise their children. Same for us. It's easy to stay in place.
“We're very close. I've known Jason for 14 years, which is a really long time. We get along very well. We eat dinner together and have a good time. .
“He is a great father to Anaiyah and is helping her with her schoolwork as we speak.
“Jason and I will continue to be in each other's lives.”
