"That’s my specific major, but I got my license a couple months ago, so I’m just doing this internship to explore it a little bit. But I also want to try to do an internship kind of on the Hollywood agent side — maybe work in the mail room for a bit — or maybe work in a bank," he said. "I don’t know. I want to explore a lot of different things."

While speaking to PEOPLE in May, Heather revealed that the best advice she would give a parent is to have open communication.

"Listen, four kids, different genders, different sexualities, and the best advice I can give to any parent, no matter who or what their kids are or identify as, is communication," she said. "I was raised in a very 1950s household and people really didn't talk about things."
