2022 Rewind: Daddy Watch: 'Baywatch' Star David Charvet Knows How to Thirst-Trap

EDGE is looking back at 2022 and we're resharing some of our favorite stories of the year.

Those who remember "Baywatch," know David Charvet, the chiseled, handsome actor and singer who played Matt Brody on the '90s beach drama. But, he tells Page Six, he put performing behind him to be the best dad he could be.

He now build houses in Southern California and, judging from his IG, enjoys working out. Approaching 50, he has kept his hunk status, though no longer in front of the camera.

The French-born Charvet shares two children, daughter Heaven, 15, and son Shaya, 14, with ex-wife Brooke Burke and explained to Page Six that being in the spotlight meant he was away from his family too often.

"Before I had my first child I was traveling for five years in 42 countries doing concerts for my music," he explains. "There's no way I could do that again. I had to find a different meaning to my life."

He adds, "I didn't want to go and take a TV show that was in Canada, I didn't want to travel to Europe to do my music. I wanted to stay home and I wanted to be a good dad. I wanted to be there for my children every single day."

Charvet runs The Jones Builders Group, a residential contracting company, in Los Angeles that builds between 10 and 14 houses a year, which allows him to be in LA and be close to his children.

"To wake up every morning early, to be able to be the first face that my kid would see has been a blessing," he says. "And I did it. People to this day ask me, 'How come you have such a great relationship with your children?' And I said to them, 'The reason why I have such a great relationship is because I put the time in.'"

Charvet did admit to the Post that he mourned his former career for awhile after he left.

"There was also a sense of sadness because I really loved what I did for 20 years," he says. "You know, there's also an identity change which is something that for every man, I don't wish for because when you lose your identity of what you knew you were for 20 years.

"My job today is I service people. I'm a service person. I'm no longer the star."
