Dominic Fike confirmed he is the father of a son named Rocket during a recent interview with Pigeons & Planes
The Euphoria star said Rocket, who is nearly 2, inspires him to stay sober and improve his lifestyle choices

Dominic Fike is sharing how his son motivates him to be "better."
During an interview with Pigeons & Planes, the Euphoria star, 30, shared that he doesn't party in the same way that he used to, explaining that he's settled down since becoming a dad.
“I just don’t party like that right now," he said. “I got a son, Rocket. He’s almost 2."
He went on to share how his son motivates him to be "stable" and be "better."
"He motivates me to be stable and sober for one and better about ... my debauchery and stuff," he said. "But, he makes me want to write songs for people his age and he makes me want to acquire property for him to grow up in."
"Also, stay close to my friends, so he has friends to grow up with," Fike added. "He makes me want to make sure my reputation is okay, so I can still go into school meetings, and not have to be shunned from the PTA thingy because I’m like a psycho."

Although Euphoria marks Fike's first acting stint in a major title, the actor told Variety in 2021 that there's a cross-comparison to his work as a musician, saying, "It feels like a long music video."
Still, he never considered himself much of an actor before landing the gig and doesn't place the title of actor too heavily on his shoulders.
"I don't have to do much acting [on Euphoria]," adding, "He's exactly like me. It's s--- I would say and s--- I would do."
