Earlier this year, professional chef David opened up about their children and how he hopes they don't follow in their famous parents' footsteps any time soon. The duo welcomed son Gideon and daughter Harper into the world in 2010 via a surrogate. "I don’t wish them to go into the business anytime soon," he told HELLO!. David went on to reveal that Harper enjoys singing songs like her father Neil. He said: "Our daughter just got a pink karaoke machine for Christmas so she's been belting out some tunes at home, but she gets a little stage fright." The Food Network star continued: "She was asking us, 'Did you ever get stage fright when you go on the stage?' and I said, ‘Yeah, it’s exciting.’ It’s an exciting feeling, but we don’t know. There’s time for that."
