Diamont had openly discussed his desire to become a father in his biography, 'My Seven Sons and How We Raised Each Other'. The soap opera star also spoke about his grief after losing his father and older brother unexpectedly. In a 2018 interview, Diamont said he had hoped they would live long enough "to meet my wife, my children, and to share experiences. That was just gone almost in the blink of an eye. Those scars remain."
The father of seven previously said that he was eager to start a family and was particularly eager to be a father to a boy to make up for what had been lost. "I wanted children. I candidly write in the book that I wanted to have sons. I wanted back what was taken from me. I wanted to recreate that," said Diamont, as per Amomama
In addition to his biological sons, his ex-wife Braun has two other boys, Lauren and Sasha, who are technically Diamont's stepsons but who Braun prefers to refer to as his own sons. Diamont claimed that when he and Braun split, he assured the boys he will still be a part of their lives. "I will always be there for them. I'm here, and I'll always be here," he said.
