Watch: Lance Bass Shares the Joys and Challenges of Parenthood

Out recording artist Lance Bass, who became the father of twins last fall along with husband Michael Turchin, disclosed the joys of parenthood, and the challenges, in a recent interview, the Daily Mail reported.

Bass told PEOPLE (The TV Show!) that he's "just so obsessed" with Violet and Alexander, who were born via a surrogate last October, and added that he's now faced with being apart from them after months spent at home during COVID.

"[N]ow that Dad's back working, I try to spend as much time as possible home," Bass related. "I'm so lucky, I'm able to work out of my home so I get to spend so much time with them." And when work calls him away? "It sucks to be away from them," Bass said. "I miss them."

The 42-year-old *NSYNC alum added, "When you have kids, your perspective completely changes. It was all about you and now it's all about someone else."

Bass said that he's gotten good advice about being a dad, People Magazine reported.

"Every friend's like, 'Look, enjoy every second because it'll fly by like no other and you'll miss this stage.' I'm already getting teary-eyed because they're already 5 months [old] and I can see that it's just flying by right now."

That said, Bass admitted that caring for twin babies has its challenges. However, he added, "We are so lucky that we have a lot of family members coming out because we're all from the South, so if my parents aren't here, then my sister's here, my husband's sister's here, his parents are here."

That led Bass to jokingly – or perhaps not so jokingly – offer a suggestion for anybody wondering what a suitable present might be for new parents: "Look," Bass said, "just give me two nights that you watch the kids. That's all I care about. Just come over and babysit for a night."
