Role Model Stuns Fans with Single Father Dream

Singer-songwriter Role Model has raised eyebrows after revealing that he wants to become a single father. 

The 29-year-old, who is reportedly dating actress , made the surprising admission during an appearance on Jake Shane's Therapuss podcast this week.

'My dream has always been to be a single father, and to have a daughter... to raise a daughter by myself would be really fun,' he said. 

'I want a daughter that's ideally mine, and then I thank whoever had it for me,' he continued, before adding that he's open to having a ''.

'Maybe that'd be destructive for the kid, but I just want to raise a child by myself because then you can just mold them into your best friend,' he said. 

His comments divided opinion online, with actress  writing a simple 'No' on People magazine's Instagram post about the interview. 

'Maybe try it with someone else first,' wrote podcaster Ryan Bailey, while conservative pundit Tomi Lahren wrote a simple, 'Huh?'

However, some others defended The Longest Goodbye singer, with actor Noah Castillero writing, 'Wow this is so sweet. Aftersun movie vibes.'

'You guys do realize he jokes all the time right? And also adoption IS a thing,' added a fan.

A third fan also said that the indie-pop singer may have been joking, arguing, 'This is why context is so important. His personality is formed from making jokes and doing bits.'

They added, 'He is a great person. I promise he's not someone to be skeptical about.'

Other fans were left confused by the fact that Role Model talked about becoming a single dad despite supposedly being in a relationship. 

'Wasn't he with Dakota Johnson?' asked one, while another wrote, 'Guess Dakota's out the picture in his future.'

Daily Mail has contacted reps for Role Model and Johnson for comment.
