Lance Bass loves the daddy life!
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE related to his partnership with Allegra, the musician, 44, talks about raising his 2-year-old twins — son Alexander James and daughter Violet Betty — with husband Michael Turchin.
“I feel like every day is a different milestone and it’s just amazing,” Bass says. “They’re in school now, which I think is really crazy — they’re little people now.”
“They can communicate with you. You’re having those conversations and it’s so surreal to think that just two years ago, which seems like yesterday, they were just little blobs on the couch and they couldn’t do anything,” he continues.
Adds Bass: “Now they’re little stinkers trying to upset you. It’s just been the most helpful thing ever.”

Bass says his twins are “the best kids” and notes that he “can’t wait to see what they get into and what they’re interested in now that they’re sponges.”
“I just try to surround them with everything. I said, you’re going to learn Spanish, you’re going to learn Mandarin, you’re going to learn to play soccer, you’re going to play the piano,” he continues. “I just want them to touch everything right now and [I want to] see what they strive for.”
Currently, the *NSYNC singer says his kids are interested in “stereotypical” things and are “on the extreme end of the spectrum,” despite raising them in a “gender-neutral” environment where they can “choose what they want to choose.”
“For months now, my boy, he’s been everywhere. He likes any kind of sport, he likes every instrument. He makes up his own songs, which is very strange, but he’ll make his own songs,” Bass says of his son.
As for his daughter, he adds, “She’s the most generous, likes high heels and jewelry and makeup and all that.”
