Their father claimed in a 2023 interview that he hadn't heard from his eldest daughters 'in over a decade' and hadn't spoken to Joel, Aaden, Leah and Alexis for five years. 'At this point, they're adults now. So, I mean, I don't even know their phone numbers or stuff,' he told 'Entertainment Tonight' at the time. 'I've kind of just stuck with the kids that live here.'
