One of the stars of “Euphoria” has reason to be, well, euphoric.
Actor Dominic Fike, who joined the HBO show in Season 2 and returns for the third season, just revealed he’s dad to a 2-year-old son.
The actor opened up about being a father during an interview with Pigeons & Planes, which dropped Tuesday. April 7 on YouTube.
Dominic Fike on Fatherhood
During the wide-ranging interview, Fike said he no longer parties like he used to, all because of his child.
“I just don’t party like that right now. I got a son, Rocket, he’s almost two,” he revealed for the first time during his chat with the outlet.
“He motivates me to be, well, stable and sober, for one,” said Fike, who has been very open about his sobriety in the past. “And better about that, about my debauchery and stuff.”
Of Rocket, the actor and singer said the boy also makes him “want to write songs for people his age,” as well as “acquire property, for him to grow up in.” Being a dad has made Fike want to be closer to his own friends, so his son “has friends to grow up with.”
He also told the outlet that fatherhood “makes me want to make sure my reputation’s okay, so I can still go into school meetings and not be shunned from PTA meetings, because I’m a psycho.”
Fike didn’t reveal the identity of the child’s mother.
He previously dated “Euphoria” costar Hunter Schafer, though she revealed on Call Her Daddy that the pair split in July 2023.
‘Euphoria’ Returning For Season 3
According to Variety, Fike will return for Season 3 of “Euphoria,” which premieres April 12 on HBO.
