Though Tisdale doesn’t necessarily want Jupiter to follow in her footsteps as an actress, explaining that she wanted her daughter to have a “very normal childhood” and “decide on her own when she’s older” what her career path will be, she does see her working in the entertainment industry.

“I think it will be in music because her dad is a composer and in music and she, honestly, music has been her favorite class that she’s been in since she was like four months old,” Tisdale told PEOPLE in February 2023. “We have a music class together, so I hope it’s music.”

A year later, she told PEOPLE that Jupiter was still very into music, and knew all the words to “This Wish” from theWishmovie.

“My daughter sings nonstop,” she said. “The fact that she knows all the words to songs is so wild. I think she’s destined to be a singer for sure.”

“I grabbed it one night until I realized what it was, so I just kept on reading, ‘Go to sleep,’ " she told PEOPLE. “She goes, ‘No, mama, no. It’s go the f— to sleep.’ I was like, ‘What the heck?’ "
