Diana Ross’ youngest son, Evan Ross, revealed that his children, Jagger Snow, 10, and Ziggy Blu, five, have inherited their grandmother’s talents and have dreams of taking to the stage one day. The 37-year-old shared an update on the pair with People on Sunday, explaining that their talents were beginning to flourish as they grew older.
“Yeah, my son is amazing. He’s probably going to be a singer too. He likes breaking everything,” Evan explained, before adding that Jagger is “becoming this amazing actress out of nowhere, and she’s singing as well. She’s a star.”
When asked if he would consider becoming a stage dad, he quipped: “We’ll see. I don’t know about being a stage dad, but I’ll be there.”

Evan comes from a blended family himself, which allowed him to easily adapt to Ashlee and Bronx’s dynamic. “I grew up in a family where I had a lot of different siblings,” Evan shared on Watch What Happens Live. “I grew up with a big family. I think it’s a beautiful thing.”
Evan, whom Diana welcomed with her ex-husband, Arne Naess Jr., is an actor known for his work in ATL, 90210, The Hunger Games and The United States vs. Billie Holiday.

Evan’s sister, Tracee Ellis Ross, who is a Golden Globe-winning actress best known for her role in Black-ish, previously opened up about how devoted a mother Diana was to all five of her children, despite being one of the world’s most celebrated stars.
“Don’t get me wrong, Michael Jackson was around,” she told Flaunt. “Marvin Gaye called the house all the time. Cher and my dad and my mom and Michael played doubles tennis. Andy Warhol photographed me. You know what I mean.”

My mom was home, my mom came and woke me up for school. And what I will say is it looked the way it did for my friends.”
Tracee added: “There were certain unique things, but my mom woke us up for school in the morning. We would sit down and have dinner together. She would record when we were asleep at night. She never left for longer than a week.”
