"I'm a big supporter of modern-day parenting. I'm a big supporter of modern families," Anstead told PEOPLE, explaining that he still thinks of Taylor and Brayden as his stepchildren.
"I think it's amazing how generations evolve to fit within the current times, and right now, we live in a time where blended families are common and ultimately you have to have relationships that are healthy with all this extended family. And by default, I've inherited an extended family [in Tarek and Heather]."
"To treat them in any other way would be dishonorable," he continued of their mutual respect and support. "I'm really proud of how we all kind of manage that modern blend."
