- There was also a time in middle school when he was homeless and would live with his father in a car. His father eventually gained custody of all his children and they had moved into a small, 2-bedroom apartment. In January 2026, to acknowledge his father’s sacrifices, he had gifted him a new house in Oklahoma.
