Nick Carteris one of the five members of the most influential bands of the ’90s, but his biggest achievement is being a dad to his three kids: son Odin and daughtersSaoirseandPearl.

After marrying his wife Lauren Kitt Carter in 2014, they welcomed their first child, Odin, in 2016. Three years later, Nick and Lauren’s daughter, Saoirse, joined the family. In 2021, the pair announced the birth of Pearl.

The singer, who began making music and touring with theBackstreet Boysas a teen, hopes that his children will have a more relaxed upbringing.

“They could just be kids, enjoy their lives, grow up, go to school, have friends, take them to karate, to like T-ball here, whatever it is just let them be kids andlet me be the provider for them,” Nick said on a 2022 episode of theWe Are Familypodcast.

“Whatever they want to do, as far as their profession goes, that’s really up to them,” Nick said. “But what I want, I just want to have school be a priority.”

Nick and Lauren welcomed their son, Odin Reign Carter, on April 19, 2016.

The new dad introduced his eldest child to fans with asweet Instagram post. “I just love how peaceful he is,” Nick wrote in the caption.

A couple of years later, the “Larger Than Life” singer spoke to PEOPLE about how fatherhood had impacted his life.

“I’ve always had a love for family … and now that I have Odin,words can’t explain how happy I amright now and how much more invigorated I am,” Nick said. “I realize how blessed I am to have him, my wife, to have my group.”

Nick often speaks candidly about parenthood on social media, including when incidents have happened.

In August 2022, the father of three shared a glimpse of one of his son’s latest hobbies — horse riding.

Odin also enjoys playing golf with his dad — a pastime that helped the family heal after the death of Nick’s sister, Bobbie Jean Carter, in December 2023.

“Cherishing these moments,” Nick wrote onInstagramalongside a video of Odin practicing his swing.

In May 2024, the father-son duo spent time together in the studio. Nick shared about the experience onInstagram, posting a video of Odin learning to be a music producer while his dad sang.

“My little engineer,” the performer wrote in the caption.

Nick and Lauren welcomed their daughter, Saoirse Reign Carter, on Oct. 2, 2019.

The proud dadrevealed her namein a tribute to his wife, who had a miscarriage after the birth of Odin.

“I’ll never forget the moment You asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I said nothing. But deep down inside I knew what I really wanted,” he wrote onInstagram. “So on January 28th 2019 when I walked out of that bathroomwith that positive testI already knew that Saoirse was coming back to us.”

The couple’s middle child seems to have picked up her dad’s musical genes. The Grammy nominee said that his daughter already had some impressive vocal talents at age 2, and the toddler evenjoined her dad on stageduring a Backstreet Boys performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 2022.

Nick listed “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” among Saoirse’s favorite songs.

However, Saoirseisn’t too keenon hearing her dad sing. Nick told PEOPLE in 2022 that his elder daughter “won’t let me sing to her anymore.”

“I used to sing to all my kids when they were really young,” he explained. “So, I’d hold them, and I’d walk with them and hum to them and sing to them before they’d go to bed.”

Despite her hesitance to listen to her dad’s solos, Nick does get to sing with Saoirse, sometimes even on a karaoke machine he bought for the whole family.

“It’s a hit in our house,” Nick wrote onInstagramin 2021, alongside a video of him and Saoirse singing together.

Nick and Lauren welcomed their daughter, Pearl Reign Carter, on Apr. 21, 2021.

The “Shape of My Heart” artist opened up to PEOPLE later that year about Pearl’s time in the neonatal intensive care unit after her birth.

“To see your child being born and then having to be put in the NICU … it’s the scariest thing. But I think that’s what makes it a blessing,” Nick said at the time. “All my children are a blessing to me and I’m a very strong believer in God. I’m very happy that she’s here in our lives and we will do everything that we can to make sure that all of our kids are protected and loved.”

Calling Pearl the “light of our life,” Nick said he hoped that sharing her story would help other families in a similar situation.

“I’m so grateful. It was tough,” he added. “Maybe a little story like what happened with our daughter could help someone else feel a little better if it did happen to them. You can make it through. Maybe that’s a silver lining.”

Speaking on theWe Are Familypodcast in 2022, the “I Want It That Way” singer discussed how he was adjusting to being a father of three.

“You have three different personalities, three different needs, three different … just human beings that want affection and attention,” he explained. “[On] one hand, you got a 10-month-old over there crying, then you have your daughter on the other hand wanting your attention, then your son, happening all at the same time.”

Nick continued, “You’re learning on the job, you’re figuring it all out.I love the challenge. I think it’s great. It’s a challenge and … I absolutely love it.”
