Father’s Day is around the corner…..and Robin Thicke has something to smile about.

At first Robin had a few jitters about the idea of being a daddy:

I’m afraid of not being patient enough, but most of the time that’s when I’m scared or worried about the future. I want to work on that. My biggest fear is being able to be there, because I don’t know if kids ever think their parents were there enough.

All that has now changed since Robin and wife Paula Patton welcomed little Julian back in April. In a recent interview with Essence, Robin talks about what it means to celebrate his first official Father’s Day.

ESSENCE: It’s your first Father’s Day, how has fatherhood been? What are some of the best moments you’ve experienced since Julian was born?

THICKE: All the songs that are pouring out of me. Every time I’m with him, or see him, it brings up so many new thoughts and feelings in me. I’ve been writing, because there are some amazing things I want to talk about, and they are all coming out of me at an amazing pace. Some of the best moments are when I am holding him, and I start singing my new songs to him …if he cries, I change it.

ESSENCE: (Laughs) Your own little focus group…

THICKE: Yes, and if it soothes him, I go ahead with it. The next album will be a really soothing album, that’s for sure.

ESSENCE: What would be the one thing you personally weren’t expecting from this new life?

THICKE: I didn’t expect it to mean so much. I can’t define this love, it’s a new love. It’s not like being in relationship with someone where love grows and grows. As soon as your baby is born, you’re just in love for the rest of your life.

ESSENCE: What are some of the things you’ve learned from your own father, Alan Thicke?

THICKE: To save some money (laughs).

ESSENCE: Many are familiar with the expression, ‘a Mother’s Love.’ Define what ‘a Father’s Love’ is.

THICKE: Not sure how to define love for every father, but for me the definition of a father’s love is unconditional love.

Looks like TLC’s Chilli is ready to get back in the game. The singer will be featured on VH1 for a new dating show this fall. Check out her interview with Essence.com:

ESSENCE.COM: Miss Chilli, you are on the prowl! How did you end up with a dating reality show? 
CHILLI: Our producer from TLC’s show “R U the Girl?” was fascinated by my outlook on men and thought I was too picky. Years later we developed a show to help me find someone. I was very clear it couldn’t be your typical dating show. I’m very picky and all women should be. I want to encourage women to fight for what it is you really want, and stand by that. Otherwise you will have a lot of heartbreak or will be left unfulfilled. When you bring a lot to the table, you can’t be with someone who is half-stepping.

ESSENCE.COM: Now, many of your fans already have the perfect guy picked for you, your ex Usher. Any chance for a reconciliation?
CHILLI: (Laughs.) I don’t know. You never know. Only the good Lord knows that. If it’s meant for us to stay apart, we will, and if it’s meant to be the other way, somehow in the future it may happen.

ESSENCE.COM: Definitely. And how did you know you were ready to look for love?
CHILLI: I’m hard on guys, that’s why I said maybe I do need a little help from VH1. I also know I have avoided many werewolves being tough. As a celebrity and just a woman who takes care of herself, you have to be very careful. Guys talk more than we do. I can go on a lunch date, and the guy spins it to something else, and that includes celebrities. All of that turned me off from dating. Now I am at the point to open up again. It’s also important to be able to enjoy your own company and I love my space. I do hope to get married one day, and when I do I still hope to enjoy being alone. Hopefully I will connect with somebody on this show. We already know ultimately who everyone wants me with (laughs)
