Chris Cornell on hands-on care creating a connection
In a Newsweek article detailing the higher involvement of this generation’s fathers as compared to the previous, rocker Chris Cornell, 43, poses with daughter Toni, 3, and son Christopher Nicholas, 22 months on Friday, and speaks of his personal experience.
Wiping your kids’ faces, washing their hands, changing theirdiapers — that kind of hands-on care creates a deep connection youotherwise wouldn’t have.

His son looks just like him but with blonde hair. He seems like a really good father. His kids are adorable.

I just don’t understand why we never see his older daughter!

Amen Janie. Sorry Chris, you can’t be considered a good and hands on dad if you ignore one of your children. That’s incredibly wrong.

I worked the Chris Cornell show last night in Seattle and he brought his son on stage before one of his songs. He didn’t seem frightened or anything and he even talked into the mike…I think he said something like “bubbles”. Not sure if anyone there took pictures…

I was also at the Seattle show it was AMAZING!!! He is the hottest papa! And his kids are beautiful. His daughter is a spitting image of him, its almost incredible. Lucky girl, she has his killer eyes. Both kids seemed very comfortable being out there. Toni seems to love the attention a lot more. Chris asked little Christpher what his name was and he shouted , “Chris Cornell.” Hope he gets the rest of papa’s musical gifts.
He is totally in love with them- the moment he has with them is really all about them. I love that he shows us that side of him now. Beautiful family!!!
