Speaking on the November 3 episode of the Legally Goff podcast, John admitted that he hasn’t been a part of his daughters’ lives for years. “I haven’t seen Maddie and Cara in like forever,” John said. “Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to pick them up off the street. I have pictures of them, but I still wouldn’t be able to pick them up off the street. That’s why I haven’t seen them yet.”
He added, “I missed graduation. Missed prom. I was cut off from all that stuff.” He further added, “I don’t know anything about my twins, whether they have boyfriends or girlfriends, or what their favorite color is now, whether they drive a car. I don’t know anything.”
