“Everything they said about having grandchildren is true,” Benatar and Giraldo told People magazine. “When we met in 1979, having children was one of our dreams. We were blessed with two beautiful daughters and now have three darling grandchildren ― our dream on steroids!”

The Giraldos are parents to daughters Haley, 39, and Hana, 30, and grandparents to Stevie, 6, Lola, 4, and Cash, 2.

“Our grandbabies know that we are musicians and songwriters,” they continue. “They’ve seen our live concerts and watch our videos. To them, we’re simply grandma and papa.”
