Marques Houston is loving his life as a family man. The veteran actor and R&B singer recently shared a candid of his wife, Miya, and their daughter, Zara Houston.
âMood 2023,â said Marques of the candid. Miya was photographed while holding Zara close. The doting mom and her daughter looked up and away from the cameraâs lens for the perfect shot.
âBeautiful ladies,â one fan said. âGod bless you and your family.â Another of Marquesâ Instagram followers wrote, âToo much cutenessâ in reference to the adorable mother-daughter shot.
It has been nearly two years since the public learned of Marques and Miyaâs matrimony and their welcoming of a daughter. The actor spoke with the press about his love for family in 2021.
âI always say being a husband and father are two of my biggest accomplishments in life so I take that very seriously. I’m really, really happy about being a dad,â Marques shared.
âZara listens to my album and I put it on for her,â the celebrity father said of his daughterâs engagement with his music. âShe’ll even try to sing along,â he added. âShe can’t really sing or anything like that yet but she tries to make little noises and kind of groove to the music,â Marques clarified. âAnd so that’s why I say the inspiration is just life, just really me knowing who I am as a person and as a husband and father,â the actor declared.
Some celebrities hope their children follow in their footsteps. Marques, however, is not interested in pulling his daughter into show business if such is not her desire.
âI want Zara to be able to carve out an interest in life early and whatever that may be, I want to be able to support her if it’s the right thing to support,â Houston shared with the press. âI just want to be sure that I’m a great father, that I raise her well with all the spiritual values that I was raised with,â he added.
Zara is Miya and Marques Houstonâs only child.
