When Harry Connick Jr. and his three daughters walk into WHO’s photo shoot on a sunny Sydney day straight from two early morning TV appearances, you could forgive them for being hungry, tired … maybe a little over it. But as they stroll in, there’s not a whiff of a complaint from the Grammy award-winning artist and his three girls, Georgia, Kate and Charlotte – with each of them going up to greet every single person on set. “Hi, I’m Harry,” he says with a grin.
After more than three decades in the industry, the star needs no introduction. After chatting to his daughters, it likely won’t be long until they make a name for themselves as well. “They’re what we dreamt they would be,” the 55-year-old gushes of his girls, whom he shares with wife of 28 years, Jill Goodacre. “They’re brilliant, driven, really, really smart, creative women. And our lives have become exponentially greater as a result of the perspective we’ve gained from them.”
The family, who normally hail from upstate New York, have all been in Australia while Connick Jr. films Australian Idol. “All three of them have their own careers and doing their thing, but this kind of worked out perfectly … which is pretty rare,” he tells WHO of having his daughters with him Down Under. “I don’t anticipate us being able to do that much. But we’re just enjoying every moment of it.”
