In a Snapchat video he posted for his 31st birthday in August, the deceased father-of-one joked about not receiving gifts from his one and only child.

“I didn’t get any dad socks yet,” he said. “But I am going to speak to my son in a little bit, which I’m really excited about. Bless him.”

He also gushed with love over his son and called him a “mini-me” in the clip.

“He’s so big now. He’s a big boy, and he looks like a mini-me, as if we need anymore me in the world,” he continued.

While talking about fatherhood in a 2018 interview with People, he called himself “Dada Montana,” making a reference to Miley Cyrus’s hit Disney series Hannah Montana.

“I always wanted to be a young dad, but I didn’t really expect that I’d ever be in this place,” he told the outlet a year after his son’s birth.

“When I’m at home, I’m a dad. Then when I [work], I see all these crazy things,” he continued. “I’ve been going by Dada Montana.”

He also joked about feeling like a “child” himself while speaking to one of Bear’s teachers in the past.

“I recently received his school report, and I feel quite young for school reports, and spoke to the teacher over FaceTime, and I almost felt like I was the child that she was speaking about,” he told the outlet in a 2020 interview.

He admitted that being a parent was something he had “to learn” over time.

“I had my son at a young age, and you think it will be a magical thing, that you’re going to grow up one day into the person you’re supposed to be,” he admitted. “But it took a lot to find my footing. I figured, Dad takes care of everyone, that’s what he does, so my thing was to cook.”

In the same interview, the British pop icon also said: “He looks exactly like me, which is very strange. When family members see baby pictures of me now, they say, ‘Oh wow, Bear looks really great there!’”
