However, the Shark Tank star hasn't shied away from speaking highly of both his daughters and his first wife.

"I don't consider myself a great father in regards to the everyday discipline and/or education of my girls because I've been so fortunate to have two great partners — my first wife is an amazing, amazing partner," John said on the"Dad Saves America" YouTube channel.

"Maybe we didn't gel the way that I would like but that doesn't take away from, she is one of the most brilliant people I've ever met when it comes to being a mother," the businessman continued. "And my wife now. My wife calls me, you know I'm a Disney dad," John said of Taras.

The FUBUCEO also spoke at length about his eldest daughters, though didn't specify them by name. He did note, though, that being a father to them is "the most fulfilling feeling in the world."

Of his oldest daughter, John said, "She's like the mother of the family." He added, "She's always had an old soul. Beautiful, beautiful young lady."

Of his middle child, John said she "just graduated Parsons with her masters in architectural design." He added, "It is the best feeling in the world to have healthy girls who are positive influences on society and I'm just so so fortunate."

The proud dad even penned a tribute to his eldest daughters on Instagram in May 2022. "There will never be a morespecial moment for me than watching my own child graduate," he wrote alongside a photo with the recent grad.

"I have 3 daughters and one has already graduated with a degree. A week ago, my middle daughter graduated with her Masters," John penned in the caption. "Aside from my wife, my daughters are the first ones in my family to graduate college. Nothing has ever felt as fulfilling as seeing my daughters walk across that stage."

John welcomed his third child, daughter Minka Jagger, with Heather Taras on March 2, 2016. Minka marked the first child for the couple, who've been married since 2018.

Despite her young age, Minka is already following in her father's entrepreneurial footsteps. During his appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark, the Shark Tank star revealed that his "now 7-year-old has started her own business."

"Now she's hustling and shaking me down in the hallway every day at home," he joked on the show. "Teaching kids financial responsibility is one of the greatest assets you can give them."

In January 2018, John revealed to PEOPLE that he and Minka have "daddy play dates" with fellow "Shark"Robert Herjavec's children. He also noted that their eldest children hang out, too.

"Robert was the second person in the delivery room when Minka was born, and he’s just such a loving person and father,” John said. “And Barbara [Corcoran] was the third. So we’re really close," he said of his fellow Shark Tank costars.
