And even though his first child has yet to be born, Evanalready knows it won’t be his last. “I grew up around a lot of siblings, and Ifeel like there’s something so incredible about knowing that you have brothersand sisters to fall back on and having them to love you, so I love the idea ofa big family,” he explained. “Big Christmases. That’s what I come from.”
Of course if he ever needs advice on raising a big family,all he has to do is ask his mother, the legendary singer Diana Ross, who raisedfive children of her own. He shared the best advice she gave him on becoming afather for the first time. “Just follow your gut. Do what you think is right,”the 26-year-old said. “There’s no right way other than the way you feel likeyou should do it, and you’ll figure it out along the way. Trust me, I’m goingto do the best that I can at whatever I do, especially when it comes to mydaughter.”
Although this is Ashlee’s second pregnancy, she has a 6-year-oldson Bronx with ex-husband Pete Wentz, that doesn’t mean she isn’t asking bigsis Jessica, who is mom to adorable Maxwell and Ace, for any help. Hecontinued: “They both give each other advice. They look out for each other.They’re really good sisters.”

With just a few weeks left in her pregnancy, it didn’t stopAshlee from coming out to support her man as Evan performed at the opening of STKat the W Los Angeles-West Beverly Hills on June 25. Will he encourage their daughter to follow in her parents’ musicalfootsteps? The “How to Live Alone” singer added, “I’m sure. I’m sure they’regoing to like all of the creative stuff, but whatever she likes is good.”
It’s been a big year so far for Evan, he filmed Hunger Games: MockingjayPart 2, now in post production, with Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth,released new music and is on the verge of starting his own family. “It’s allexciting. I feel like these are all things that like, when good things they sometimeshappen at the same time and feel like all of my inspiration for my music hasbeen coming from all of the things that have been going on from getting marriedto having a baby to being in love,” he shared. “I don’t think one would happenwithout the other.”
