The crooner has shunned pricey private education for his four children
Michael Buble sends his four children to the same state school he went to
Michael Bublé has revealed that his children go to the same state school he attended.
The four-time Grammy winner, with an estimated net worth of $80M (£65M), does the school run with his childhood pals who also haven’t moved from the area.
The 47-year-old lives in British Columbia’s Burnaby with his Argentine actress wife Luisana Lopilato.
The couple have children; Noah, 9, Elias, 7, Vida, 4, and Cielo, eight months.
“There’s this smell of all the hallways, I still remember everything,” he said of his old school Seaforth Elementary.
“Same teachers, the kids that I went to school with are the same people I walk my kids to school with now.
“The first time was probably a strange moment for them, and for me, too.”
The star, who came from humble beginnings, told The Guardian’s that he also hangs out in the local pub with other parents.
“You don’t want to act like you think you’re something special, you don’t want to be too aloof,” he said.
“We’re drinking at the pub. We’re going golfing. It’s funny how quickly that happens. They’re not impressed.
“They might say: ‘Hey, you got the grammy – good for you.’ But they’re not impressed, it’s a really cool life.”
The star has previously gushed about his old school. “It was a wonderful, sheltered, cosy place with great teachers and a principal who knew everyone’s name,” he said in 2018.
He also wanted to have the children be in an environment he knows and trusts as his son Noah has hepatoblastoma, a rare type of liver cancer.
Noah was diagnosed at age three in 2016 and has undergone chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He is now in remission.
Buble told Red magazine of the struggles: “That, of course, changed me in a big way – it changed what mattered to me, it changed how I saw life…”
