Robin Thicke Brings Son Julian, 8½, as His Date to the 2019 Grammys The singer, who called his son "my inspiration" on Instagram, also shared that Julian had a lot of input in the look he wore on the red carpet. "He did his talent show last Friday at school...and he wore a red suit for his talent show. He did George Michael's 'Freedom' and it was amazing. He had a dance break and a soulful finish," Thicke told Entertainment Tonight. "So, I was like, 'Do you want to wear a red suit for the awards?' And he was like, 'Definitely.' He knew he wanted the suit, he wanted the gold pin." The future star has also joined his famous dad at other award shows in the past. In 2019, Julian tagged along with Thicke at the Grammy Awards. "Thicke Boys! Grammys here we come!" the Masked Singer judge captioned a snapshot of the duo ahead of the ceremony.
