Kayja, who was born in 1996, is an R&B artist with tracks like 'Lies' and 'Sleepless Night'.
Rogan and his wife welcomed their first biological daughter following the birth of Lola Grace in 2008. Two years later, their second daughter, Rosy, was born.

Rogan revealed his 'overwhelming desire' for his children, explaining how his 'capacity for love changed'.

"It’s a very psychedelic experience. It’s like an overwhelming desire.
"The love you have for your child, it’s not like anything else.
