Eve says having her four-year-old son, Wilde Wolf , on her most recent tour was a meaningful experience for her.
While talking with Jennifer Hudson on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the rapper opened up about bringing her son along on the road and what it was like knowing he was watching her from the crowd.
“He’s small enough that I can take him everywhere, but he’s old enough to really remember,” the “Who’s That Girl” singer told the 44-year-old talk show host.
She continued, “I felt like a superhero with him watching me in a way. I’m like, ‘Wow, like I’ve had all this life and now here’s this little person.’ And me performing on stage with him watching gives it new life for me. It’s incredible.”
Later in the conversation, Eve said her son has already started showing interest in music.
“He loves music. He does already play like the piano a little bit, which I love,” she explained. “I’m trying to keep him away from rapperdom. You know what I mean? I mean, I don’t mind. I had a good life, but I would rather…yeah, no.”
Instead, Eve said she could see her son taking a very different direction. One option, she noted, already has his attention.
“I would love him to be a race car driver. I mean, probably more for me, but he already loves Lewis Hamilton. Like he already knows who he is,” she shared. “He loves cars like his daddy. He is a car boy. It’s like it’s in his blood. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did wind up a race car driver.”
Eve also reflected on how quickly her son is growing.
“It’s amazing. Every phase is amazing, but I will say 4 has been hard because I’m like, he’s a little boy. I’m missing my baby. Where’s the baby?” she said.
She added that Wilde now considers himself a “big boy,” pointing to moments like his recent haircut as reminders of how fast time moves. “But at the same time, how incredible are they?” Eve said. “Seeing life through their eyes is like the best thing in the world.”
Eve shares her son with her husband, Maximillion Cooper. She is also a stepmother to Cooper’s four children: twin daughters Lotus and Jagger, son Cash, and daughter Mini.
