“It’s fun being a parent, isn’t it?”, Schneider told recently Tucker Carlson during a show, when the host asked about the comments made by King.
He said, “Well I just want to tell my daughter, Elle, I love you and I wish I was the father in my 20s that you needed. Clearly I wasn’t. I hope you can forgive me for my shortcomings. I love you completely and I love you entirely.”
Rob further added, “I just want you to be well and happy with you and your beautiful baby, Lucky, I wish you the best. I feel terrible. I just want you to know I don’t take anything you say personally.”
Carlson also asked Schneider how he managed to not fire back at his daughter. Rob asserted that his reaction did not come because he loves his daughter completely with a whole heart, and just wants her to be happy and heal.
