Being a parent is a continuous learning experience, and for Daryl, it comes with unique challenges and opportunities. With his wife, Meghan Trainor, recently having their second baby boy, the Spy Kids star opens up about the incredible role of being a father.
His life journey without a dad wasn’t an easy one.
For Daryl Sabara, the journey of fatherhood has been an amazing journey. As he welcomed their second child, he expresses his excitement, saying, “We’re in our nesting stage right now, and it’s just kind of crazy to think this is the last time that it’ll just be me, Meghan, and Riley.” The transformative power of becoming a father has given him a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Sabara’s own experience growing up without a father has influenced his perspective on fatherhood. “I’ll say that it’s pretty amazing because I didn’t have a dad growing up. My dad left my family when I was 1. So becoming a dad has kind of given me this existential experience of getting to become the dad that I always wanted.”
Embracing his role as a father has allowed him to create the loving and supportive environment he missed during his own childhood.
Becoming the dad he always wanted.
Despite the challenges that come with raising a child, Sabara is really happy to be a dad. He affectionately refers to Riley as his best friend and expresses his excitement for the arrival of a new “best friend.”
Sabara looks for beauty in the simple moments of fatherhood, like making breakfast for his family and spending quality time together. He finds joy even in changing diapers, highlighting Riley’s cheerful disposition.
As Riley takes on the role of a big brother, Megan, and Daryl share how excited they are to witness their bond grow. He revealed Riley’s enthusiasm for the upcoming arrival, describing how his son loved pointing to his mom’s belly, saying “baby,” and showering it with affectionate kisses. The genuine excitement Riley displays definitely knows how to steal their smiles.
Pregnancy comes with challenges as well.
After experiencing gestational diabetes during her first pregnancy, Trainor has fortunately not faced the same condition this time around. Sabara admires his wife and marvels at her ability to handle pregnancy and daily tasks with grace. He expresses his deep admiration for Trainor, calling her a superwoman and expressing his awe at her capabilities.
Despite the challenges that pregnancies come with, Riley taught his family the importance of living in the present moment. Watching his child’s ability to embrace joy and playfulness has reminded Daryl to let go of worries and distractions.
By immersing himself in playtime and disconnecting from technology, he experiences a flow state that brings immense happiness and fulfillment. The focus is on cherishing the joy of family bonds and creating lasting memories together.
Our past can serve as a powerful teacher, shaping our present and guiding our future. For Daryl Sabara, the absence of a father during his upbringing served as a poignant lesson on the importance of parental presence. This profound experience has instilled in him a deep understanding of the needs of children and has fueled his unwavering commitment to being a devoted father.
