With season 35 of Dancing with the Stars officially underway, arguably no contestant will have a larger audience in the crowd cheering them on than Taylor Hanson.
The musician and Hanson member, 43, is married to Natalie Anne Bryant, and together, the proud parents share seven children, all of whom are already showing up for their dad.
"My kids are my world," he recently told E! News. "They're the best. They're the ones that tell me when I should and should not do stuff, and they're very pro this. They will definitely be in the ballroom here and there."
Here's all you need to know about the "MMMBop" hitmaker's family…

Taylor met Natalie Anne Bryant in 2000. In fact, all three Hanson bandmates, brothers Taylor, Zac and Isaac, met their future wives at their own shows. Taylor and Zac met their eventual wives, Natalie and Kate, at the same show in Atlanta.
Sparks flew between them quickly, and they tied the knot just two years later, when Taylor was 19. While Natalie mostly leads her life out of the public eye, she previously started the baby naming consultation Modern Moniker with her sister-in-law Kate.
In 2020, she also contributed to the website Tulsa Kids, blogging about her experiences homeschooling their kids during the lockdown.

In December 2018, Taylor and Natalie welcomed their youngest son, Indiana "Indy" Hanson. Speaking with Today's Parent, Taylor previously noted how he believed having a big family gave his kids the ability to understand innate compromise. "I see that with my kids: They're very different, but I see that they love and respect one another."
