The ex-Lynx Entertainment signee's response left little room for ambiguity.

He said:

"Infinity to infinity, from infinity to infinity. My number one inspiration, I love you," he said, drawing a warm reaction from the crowd before cheekily adding, "You please, but please go to bed. It's time to see. I love you."

In the trending footage, Babette, avoiding the cameras, was visibly emotional as she handed over her smartphone for her son to interact with his father during the adorable moment.

The exchange, laced with warmth and humour, quickly drew attention online, with many noting her presence at the session as a significant moment given how rarely she appears at public events connected to the singer.
