“All I Want Is Time With Them”: Robert Herjavec Gets Real About Fatherhood and What Matters Most on Father’s Day

"Dancing With the Stars” alum Robert Herjavec is such a sweet and sentimental dad. Find out what he says is the ultimate Father’s Day gift and how he plans to spend the day with his family.

Robert Herjavec Shares Fun Father’s Day Plans

In a June 2025 interview with People, Herjavec was asked about his Father’s Day plans.

The “DWTS” season 20 contestant is dad to three adult kids and shares twins Hudson and Haven with wife Kym Johnson. “I expect lots of presents from my kids. I’m one of those dads who keep every little bit of drawing, thank you card, world’s greatest Dad,” he said. “I eat that stuff up all day long.”

He continued, “And on Father’s Day, I kind of pretend we’re doing stuff I want, like going to the ‘Minecraft’ movie or going to the arcade. But they love it. I mean, I do it for them, but they think they’re doing it for me.”

Herjavec added, “And I just love to see them happy, so it’s super fun.”

On June 15, Herjavec took to Instagram to share a Father’s Day post. He posed with his twins in a series of photos that kicked off with the text: “What I Really Want This Father’s Day.”

His requests were simple: “A handmade card. A messy drawing. A day at the arcade. That’s all I want.”

He continued, “I stay active to keep up. Not for the mirror, but to run after two 8-year-olds. Being a dad isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being there.”

The “DWTS” alum added, “I just want them to feel safe and loved, and hear ‘I love you’ a hundred times a day.”

‘Shark Tank’ Judge Calls Fatherhood a ‘Blessing’

Herjavec also dished on having more kids later in life, calling it a blessing.

“Kym and I started late and we didn’t think we’d be able to have kids, so it was such a blessing,” he shared. “And we tried for a long time and our daughter is actually named Haven because we just couldn’t believe we were fortunate enough to have her.”

The “Shark Tank” judge also said his young kids inspire him to live a healthy life.

“I think [my kids are] one of the reasons I’ve been so focused on working out and trying to stay in shape,” Herjavec said. “People think it’s for my ego and arrogance, and I’m sure it’s a little bit of that, but it’s 98% I just want to have the energy to do all the things that they want to do.”
