‘I’m not loving music so much’: superdad Michael Bublé may quit singing now that baby No 4 has come along

Just weeks after his daughter came into the world, the man with the golden voice has admitted that he's thinking about leaving his career to become a full-time dad.

Speaking on the Gaby Roslin podcast, Michael Bublé hinted that his romance with music might be fizzling out.

“I think I'm not loving it as much,” he says. “I think I'm getting close to thinking maybe I can just go and be a dad.”

The 46-year-old Grammy winner has stepped away before, when his then three-year-old son, Noah, was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2016. He took two years off to spend time with his family and was able to be there to support his son as he made a remarkable recovery.

Now, following the birth of his daughter Cielo Yoli Rose Bublé last month, Michael says he wants to spend more time with her, his wife, Argentinian actress Luisana Lopilato (35), and the rest of their adorable brood, Noah (9), Elias (6) and Vida (4).

During the course of his career, Michael has been nominated for 11 Grammys and won 4 of them, and regularly topped the music charts.

But despite all the accolades and fanfare, music isn't the most important thing in his life. 

“Isn’t it funny that somebody from the outside would think that I have everything, an incredible career, man, I’ve done so great. But do you know how miserable I am about all of it?” he says in the podcast, before letting out a short laugh.

Speaking to British website Inews.co.uk about the balancing act that his family and his career demand, Michael is adamant that being a dad will always win.

"I’ll never shirk my responsibilities of being a dad. I just know it’ll end in tears. I'd rather look back and think, ‘If I'd worked harder, I could've sold more records and had bigger grosses on the tour.’ I can accept that – but I can’t accept thinking, ‘If only I had been with my kids more’.”
