Giuliana & Bill star & The Apprentice winner Bill Rancic: “Nothing really prepared me for being a dad.”

Celebrity Baby Scoop recently chatted with Giuliana & Bill star Bill Rancic to talk about son Duke, fatherhood, and his new hosting gig on The Food Network. We asked Bill how he makes family a priority and what things they enjoy doing. Bill said, “Family always comes first for Giuliana and myself and we make sure to constantly work our schedules to ensure that never changes. We are constantly going on hikes and spending time with Duke. We make a point to have date nights and we believe that because of our hard work, we are fortunate enough to enjoy family vacations and that quality time together.” When asked how he and Giuliana’s relationship has changed since becoming parents, he said, “Giuliana and I have similar parenting styles on the big stuff, but lots of different opinions on the little stuff. It’s made us even better communicators with one another and we’ve learned to make compromises along the way. Giuliana is such a great mother and her bond with Duke is one of my favorite things to watch every day.” When asked how fatherhood has changed Bill, he said, “I have nieces and nephews, but nothing really prepared me for being a dad myself. Because of Duke, I love the little things even more — a quiet moment, his smile, his first steps. Everything in life matters more because of him.”

As for new projects, Bill said, “Right now my priority is on my family, the new season of Giuliana & Bill on E!, and hoping for many more seasons as host of Kitchen Casino on Food Network.” On the topic of his new show, Bill says, “People love to eat and to gamble, so why not combine the two! When I was approached to host Kitchen Casino, I was thrilled because I loved the novelty of the idea, combined with the required skills from the contestants to execute great dishes in such a challenging environment.”
