“Miya chose the name Zara because she just felt like it was exotic. There was no special reason,” Houston told Us Weekly. ” She just wanted our girl to have a memorable name that wasn’t the average name.”
Marques Houston admitted that being a new parent “feels surreal” for both him and Dickey. “It hasn’t set in yet that we are actually not just babysitting one of our friends’ kids,” he said. “But not getting any sleep definitely reminds us that we are now parents.”

In an interview with People, he shared how seriously he takes his duties as a dad. “I’m very instrumental in my daughter’s life. I’m not one of those absent fathers that’s just always working and never paying attention to his family because I feel like family is first,” Houston tells PEOPLE.
“I always say being a husband and father are two of my biggest accomplishments in life so I take that very seriously. I’m really, really happy about being a dad,” he continues.
