"Everything has its price. The biggest cost is my kids — I missed the first [high school football] game," Gavin revealed during an interview with People magazine, sharing that at the age of 58 he had yet to find a balance. 

"My priority is my kids. I’m really focused and present and just trying to build something worthwhile [that I can] share with my family, and so I am always working,” he added. 

Gavin is dad to Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, nine, and daughter Daisy Lowe, whom he welcomed with Pearl Lowe.
