A few days after becoming parents for the second time and welcoming a new daughter, Kevin Rubin speaks about the exciting time at home with Daniella Rubin, coping with the pregnancy, K, who is already convinced his father is a dancer, and his renewed connection to tradition.

"She could give birth any moment" The interview with Rubin took place just before the birth, when he and Daniella were already on full alert ahead of the big moment. "Dani is about to give birth any moment. She could give birth any minute," he said excitedly. Now, a few days later, the two are already holding a new daughter alongside their eldest son, K, and the family has officially grown.

The endless cravings During the interview, Rubin said this pregnancy also came with plenty of strange cravings and late-night food runs. "Shawarmas, falafels, burekas, every time something else," he said with a laugh. But there was one combination that really surprised him: "Cucumbers with peanut butter." Despite all the middle-of-the-night errands, for him it was not a complaint at all: "I live to make them and my family happy."

"K is sure I'm a dancer" Rubin also said his son K is already starting to understand that his father is well known, but in the most innocent and sweet way. "He thinks I'm a dancer. He saw me dancing once at Festigal, and since then I'm a dancer to him."

According to him, K already understands that people recognize his father in the street and stop to take pictures with him: "He knows he has a slightly different father, but we live with it happily."

"I didn't want to be boring" Rubin also addressed the reactions he received to his hosting on Big Brother and to the faces he made during the broadcast, moments that went viral online. "I'm happy that I have character and personality. I wouldn't want to be boring or someone who flies under the radar," he said. "I'm theatrical in my everyday life too. What you saw on screen, that's me."

And despite the career, the exposure and the professional ambitions, his biggest goal right now seems much simpler: "To raise the baby girl peacefully, keep working hard, and most importantly, be happy."
