Last summer, the Shark Tank judge, 63, spoke with PEOPLE about life with his twins. At the time, Herjavec, who is also dad to three adult kids, shared that it has been “such a blessing” to be a father again.
“Kym and I started late and we didn’t think we’d be able to have kids, so it was such a blessing. And we tried for a long time and our daughter is actually named Haven because we just couldn’t believe we were fortunate enough to have her,” said the proud dad.

“And Haven is just a short form for heaven. I mean, she’s just such a blessing. We’re just so blessed to have Haven and Hudson,” he continued. “I think [my kids are] one of the reasons I’ve been so focused on working out and trying to stay in shape. People think it’s for my ego and arrogance, and I’m sure it’s a little bit of that, but it’s 98% I just want to have the energy to do all the things that they want to do.”
He also shared that his kids don’t quite understand what their parents do for a living yet. “They understand what Kym does because they love YouTube, like all kids,” said Herjavec, who met Johnson while the two were paired up on DWTS. “And they’re starting to figure out what I do because of Shark Tank and it’s on all the time.”
“But the cutest thing is last year in their class, they were supposed to tell the class what their parents do. And Hudson gets them in front of the class and says, ‘I want to play a video.’ And he played our first dance from Dancing with the Stars,” he continued.
Herjavec added, “So they understand that Mmm was a beautiful professional dancer. It took a long time to figure out, ‘Why is dad there?’ Because we get mom’s the dancer, but not quite sure why dad is there.”
