Getty ImagesChad described being a “girl dad” as a “privilege” during a December 2025 appearance on the “Still Here Hollywood” podcast.“It’s so interesting because always wanting to have my own experiences and not live in the shadow or follow in the footsteps of somebody, I get the experience of being a girl dad, which is such a privilege,” the “Pretty Little Liars” actor said at the time.“And I feel bad for anyone who’s a parent … I feel like having daughters is such an incredible privilege because it takes what I have known intellectually about women and all the equality and the glass ceiling that’s there and how it’s a misogynistic world in many ways,” he continued.Chad concluded, “And now it’s taken what I’ve known and it’s put it in my heart because I now have three daughters. So I look at the world from, really, their perspective.”
