The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards were a family affair for Robin Thicke.

The “Blurred Lines” singer brought his 14-year-old son Julian Fuego, who he shares with ex-wife Paula Patton, to the March 17 event, marking the teenager’s first red carpet appearance since 2023. 

Ahead of the ceremony—hosted by LL Cool J—the father-son duo flaunted their style outside of Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre. For his part, Julian sported a sleek, black tuxedo jacket and matching pants paired with black-and-green sneakers.

Robin—who also shares kids Mia Love, 7, Lola Alain, 6, and Luca Patrick, 4, with fiancée April Geary—donned a black-and-white checkered suit over a white long-sleeved button down. He completed the look with a pair of black loafers and brown sunglasses. (Click here to see every star that walked the red carpet.)

While the evening was filled with smiles and great music, the “Lost Without U” singer—who, alongside Jenny McCarthy, presented the prize for R&B Artist of the Year to SZA—has noted that those two pieces go hand-in-hand for his eldest son.

“My son Julian has been following in dad’s footsteps,” Robin told People in February 2024. “He’s an amazing singer and an amazing performer.”

He added, “I would love for him to follow in my footsteps but I’d rather he follow Barack Obama’s footsteps and become president. But he’s wonderful just the way he is.”

And Robin doesn’t just think that Julian is a great kid and budding musician—the Masked Singer judge actually credits the teen as the inspiration for his own music.

“Since I have become a dad, I no longer perform for me, I perform for my family,” Robin told Peoplein 2011, shortly after his son’s birth. “Julian has changed my music and made me think less of myself. He is an angel, the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.”
