"Personally my four children and seven grandchildren are what make me proud but for my singing career there have been so many highlights," the Cheek to Cheek singer told Forbes.

"In the end, it's sometimes the very personal things that happen to you as an entertainer that take on great meaning."

In the later years of Tony's career, he was often managed by his sons.

He shared with the Washington Post: "They do a beautiful job. They just want me to sing and paint, and they take care of all of the details.

"They work hard to make sure nothing rubs my dignity or pierces the vanity."

Who is Tony's son Danny?

Born on February 3, 1954, D'Andrea 'Danny' Bennett is Tony's eldest son.

From 1979 to his 2021 retirement, Danny managed the Emmy Award winner's career and was often credited for reviving it.

"I realize how fortunate I am to have someone in Danny that is truly looking out for my best interests and not just in it for the money," Tony said of his older son via The New York Times.

Danny has three children of his own; two daughters named Kelsey and Rémy, as well as a son with his girlfriend Hadley Spanier.

Along with managing his father's career with his older brother, Dae is also a musician and producer.

Dae produced, mixed, and engineered his father's albums Tony Bennett Celebrates 90 and his second collaborative effort with Lady Gaga titled Love For Sale.

Love For Sale was Tony's last album before he died on July 21, 2023.

For his work with his father, Dae has won a total of 10 GRAMMY Awards.

With his wife Anita, he has two sons; Austin and Jared.

Who are Tony's daughters Joanna and Antonia?

In 1969, Tony and his then-wife Sandra Grant welcomed his eldest daughter Joanna.

Joanna is named after his 1964 hit single When Joanna Loved Me.

On April 7, 1974, the former couple welcomed his youngest child Antonia.

Tony dedicated his 1990 song of the same name to Antonia.

On April 29, 2013, it was announced Antonia tied the knot with Ronen Helmann.

In May 2016, Antonia and Ronen became parents with the arrival of their daughter Maya.

During their adolescence, both of his daughters regularly accompanied him on tour.

"I have been singing my whole life. My parents always exposed me to music as well as all the arts," the younger Bennett said of her upbringing.

She explained to the Times of Israel: "I was surrounded by musicians, artists, writers, actors, and directors at a very young age.

"Having a father that is so good at what he does is incredible.

"I am constantly learning from him. I have the privilege of working with him, so I get to watch him night after night.

"Every night [that] I get to stand on stage and do what I love is a high point."
