Nick told the outlet that his spirit of giving comes from his grandmother, who taught him that ‘to whom much is given, much is required.’
He stressed, ‘The best part about any holiday is to be able to be of service. And that’s what I feel like life is really about.
‘When you can get to a space where you have more fun being of service and doing for others, I think that’s when you reach the zenith of what life is all about.’
Tiesi, who stars on the Netflix series Selling Sunset, previously praised the TV host for being a ‘good and present’ dad who is able to balance the needs of all in his brood.
And despite his busy schedule, she said he finds time to be present for each one.
