While attending GQ's Men of the Year party, the two spoke to E! News about their relationship with their father and how he has helped them forge their own paths in the industry. "I think we need to just be grateful for our blessings," Paris said, speaking about the conversation surrounding nepotism, with Dylan saying they were trying to "pave our own way."

"It's always gonna be there and we got to recognize it," the 21-year-old added. "At the end of the day, we're just grateful to be here. Dylan's an amazing musician and I'm painting right now, so we're figuring it out. Taking it day by day."
