Paul Anka's Six Kids: A Look Inside His Family Life

Paul Anka's enduring legacy is not only defined by his nearly 70-year music career but also by his six children. His first marriage to Anne de Zogheb produced five daughters: Alexandra, Amanda, Alicia, Anthea, and Amelia. Their upbringing spanned various locations, from New York to California, reflecting Anka's nomadic lifestyle balancing road tours with family.

Further expanding his family, Anka had a son, Ethan, with his second wife, Anna Åberg. While the details of his children's lives vary, some have stepped into creative fields. Amanda is a producer for "The Morning Show," and Anthea is a screenwriter and vocalist who has collaborated with her father. Ethan, his only son, remains largely out of the public eye, with Anka expressing the unique experience of raising a son later in life.

The new documentary "Paul Anka: His Way" offers a glimpse into the life of the iconic singer, touching upon the complex dynamics of his family relationships. Anka himself reflected on the "dichotomy" between his demanding career and his desire to be present for his children, highlighting the sacrifices and joys of his extensive family life.
