Shannon and Gene share two children — Nick and Sophie. They welcomed their son Nick into the world on Jan. 22, 1989, and their daughter Sophie on July 7, 1992. Nick and Sophie have shared about their upbringing and the impact that it's had on their own successful careers. Sophie is a model and singer, while Nick works as a musician and voice-over actor.

Back in the October 2022 interview with Where My Moms At podcast, Nick shared, "I was in school. I didn't miss school ever. They were very adamant that I don't be weird in Hollywood too early. So I didn't really get it until late teens, early 20s when the show kicked in."

Sophie shared with People in 2018, "I was always writing songs my whole life, but it wasn't something I considered doing as a career just because it was what my family did, and I didn't want to be compared. I wanted to be my own person. But you can't help what you're passionate about."
