In regards to raising 14-year-old Til, Bryan told People magazine that it's taken some getting used to.

“We’re having to watch grades and watch Instagram and Snapchat and keep him from being on that all day long,” the 40-year-old singer explained. “It’s interesting because he’ll be a boy one minute and he’ll act like a man the next, so you just try to help him make good decisions and study hard and be respectful and try to do your best to raise them right.”
