“When you have children, everything comes with a feeling of responsibility. Every time I prepare a show, I wonder what my kids would think if they were all there together,” Anthony exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2025 about juggling his music career and family life. “I want them to feel proud, and I always consider what my kids would say if they were in the front row. That’s always in my mind.”

He added then, “Everything I have done in my life has been with my family in mind, which is how I manage not just how I create but how the end product represents not only me but us as a family.”

At that time, Anthony was preparing for his Las Vegas residency at the Fontainebleau.

“I look forward to them seeing the show and witnessing what their dad does,” he exclaimed. “[During] my Las Vegas show, for the first time ever, I’m excited to reconnect with all my old friends, and these songs are like old companions that have been with me over the years. Creating the song is one thing, but performing it live is something entirely different.”
