Joey Fatone on fatherhood and not missing the first day of school

Lovable goofball Joey Fatone has found a great reason to keep joking around -- fatherhood. The Singing Bee host tells OK! that being dad to Briahna, 6, has brought out his inner kid even more, so much that his wife Kelly Baldwin considers him a second child.

It has made me more of a kid, I would say. I am like such a kid. I like going to Disney with my daughter and stuff and having fun and going to play and it is just hysterical. My wife always tells me she has two kids instead of just one.

When he's not being a big kid, the 30-year-old makes sure he's present for all the important events in his daughter's life, like the first day of school. Joey, who dropped Briahna off with her new lunchbox and Bratz backpack, says there's practically a clause in his contracts requesting specific time off.

That is almost in my written handbook or my contract. I have to have Halloween off to take her trick-or-treating and I have to be around obviously for the first day of school. There is no way I would miss it.

As far as giving Briahna a younger sibling, the former 'N Sync-er says it's always a possibility.

I mean we’re not really planning it at this moment, but if it happens it happens.
