Blair Underwood pose with his three children (sons Paris, 11, Blake, 7, and daughters Brielle, 9) for the June edition of "Essence" magazine.


In the interview, Blair talked about his kids that he had with his wife Desiree Dacosta. (Blair and Desiree have been married for nearly 14 years.)

“I was there with my wife Desiree when each of our children was born, and although i know it’s humanly impossible to be there every second of every day,it’s a joy to watch as their personalities blossom.The greatest reward is when the lessons,thoughts and ideas you’ve tried to teach them begin to connect.They’re constantly evolving,and i love every minute of being their father.”
