Josh Gad reveals sweet bedtime ritual with his two daughters

Josh Gad revealed the sweet bedtime ritual he does with his two daughters – Ava Tanya, 9; and Isabelle Eve, 6 – from his 12-year marriage to The Mandalorian actress Ida Darvish.

‘I am superstitious,’ the 39-year-old Frozen II star told People on Monday.

‘I always have to, before I go to bed, sneak into my girls’ room and I kiss my hand and then I touch both their faces, which sounds either really sweet or really creepy. It really is meant to be this pure sweetness.’

When little Ava and Isabelle head off to college, Josh joked that he plans on sneaking in their dorm rooms each night.

‘I will find my way into their dorm come hell or high water,’ Gad wisecracked.

‘”Why is Josh Gad in our dorm right now? Get out of here, you creep!” I have to kiss my daughter’s head.’

The Tony-nominated thespian tweeted Monday about his eldest child becoming conscious of the racial unrest over the nationwide protests about George Floyd’s murder a week ago.
