Cameron Douglas opens up about the ‘dark’ moments of his past — and renewed hope as a father of 2 (Exclusive)
In February, Douglas celebrated Thibes’ birthday by sharing an adorable picture of their two children on Instagram. In the sweet snap, Thibes held his son in one arm and his daughter in the other, smiling as the trio sat on a floral rocking bench.
“Happy Birthday Vivi…this year is yours 🐉 Year of the Dragon and you’re on fire 💛 📈 Enjoy the ride @vivianethibes We love you,” Douglas wrote in the caption.
In May 2023, Douglas spoke to PEOPLE about how he manages relationships in his family as someone in recovery. When it comes to his children, Douglas said he hopes to address the subject by being open and honest.
“I’m certainly not going to try to hide anything from them. The idea is to be in a position that makes me feel good and makes them feel good. All that stuff is just in the past. Maybe some interesting campfire stories one day,” he said.
Fatherhood has changed the way he looks at life, as well as his recovery. When it comes to his own children, “I can’t help but be hyper-aware of the little things that I see in my kids and where they might end up one way or another as they get older. I think it’s helpful to have that perspective early on, so you can encouraged in a direction where I can make positive use of all my qualities.”
“My lifestyle is all about staying healthy and focused,” the father of two noted. “There’s nothing better than two beautiful children to keep you focused. And their mother, Viviane, is such a fantastic mother and so helpful.”
