Dylan Efron is the star of the show in his siblings’ eyes.

On Tuesday, March 18, The Traitors star, 33, discussed his blended family life on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, after host Amanda Hirsch gushed that it was “so hot” to see him and his brother Zac Efron, 37, being playful with their younger siblings on social media.

Zac, 37, and Dylan, 32, are the sons of Starla Baskett and David Efron. When their parents divorced in 2016, they became big brothers as David welcomed two children — Olivia, 5, and Henry, 4 — with his new wife.

“They're the cutest,” Dylan said of his half-siblings on the podcast, before revealing that he would rush to them while not filming The Traitors, “I think I saw them immediately when I got back from Scotland,” he said.

“This year, I've been worse just because it's been a little busy. But last year, any chance I could, I'd go out there and visit,” Dylan continued.

He revealed that despite living a three-hour drive away, last year he was able to see Olivia and Henry “at least twice a month.”

Hirsch described Dylan as “such a good big bro” before quizzing if his younger siblings had a “fave” between him and Zac.

“I see them more, so I like to take that crown probably,” Dylan said. “But everybody loves Zac.”

When asked if taking his siblings out for trips to the beach is a “babe magnet,” Dylan — who already has a girlfriend — joked that people often think Olivia is his daughter.

He revealed that spending time with his younger sister has made him open to having a baby girl of his own in the future. 

“I don't know how to describe it,” he said. “But, yeah, it's definitely opened my eyes to being a girl dad too. I was that kid that wanted to play sports and wanted to teach my kid how to play baseball and all that stuff.

“But seeing Olivia grow up, I was like, 'Oh, I could have a girl.' ”

When asked if he preferred to be a “girl dad,” Dylan continued, saying, “It's funny. It changes because, now she's in the dance recital stage, so I'm going to dance recitals, and that's new to me.

“And Henry's getting older, so I see Henry, and Henry is me. He is me to a T,” he said. “Like not as smart as Olivia. It's literally watching me and Zach grow up. Olivia's outgoing, so smart and that was Zach. 

“Henry is me to a T, like he just runs around, falls, gets up,” he continued. “He hits his head and will have a huge mark, and he just laughs.”

“I want kids,” Dylan added. “Maybe not right now, but I want kids for sure.”
