“They are the realization of my dream. My family’s my dream.” Shaun Cassidy had a great example of family life thanks to his famous parents, Jack Cassidy and Shirley Jones. But it was his brother who sealed the deal for him. David Cassidy had millions of fans, but with fame came a great responsibility that he unfortunately couldn’t handle. Unlike his brother David, Shaun managed to avoid the negative influence of fame and met the woman of his life with whom he welcomed children. Despite everything Shaun has achieved, he says nothing is more important than his family. He gave a tour of his family’s two-acre Los Angeles dream home, where they live with many rescued animals, including a tortoise. With all his accomplishments, Shaun says his main priority is his kids and wife of 18 years.

Shaun Cassidy was a popular teen idol who stole the hearts of thousands of girls at the prime of his career.

Cassidy was rarely alone for years because of this attention, prompting him to pretend to be with someone’s sister to ward off his fans whenever he went out.

In real life, three women won the heart of the sexy teen idol – and they’re all drop-dead gorgeous.

Shaun Cassidy first shot to fame on “Hardy Boys,” but he’s no stranger to the entertainment industry. After all, his parents are Jack Cassidy and the famous actress Shirley Jones.

Even his siblings were in the industry, particularly his older half-brother David and his two younger siblings, Patrick and Ryan. Eventually, after “Hardy Boys,” Cassidy pursued a career in music.

It didn’t take long for him to shoot to fame as a teen idol. He had several platinum and gold records and often took his talents on the road while sweeping his female fans off their feet.

Being so famous took a toll on Cassidy, who felt he couldn’t do anything normally anymore. His fans were stalking his two-bedroom home in Beverly Glen, and he felt the need to move to a house with a fenced yard.

Due to this unwelcome lifestyle, he fell into depression. And while he made a choice to snap out of it, his mom got him a companion, a golden Labrador he named “Son.”

Cassidy lived with the constant fear that people would take Son away from him. He refused photograph requests with the pet for fear of it being dognapped.

The teen idol was never alone throughout his teenage and early adult years. He had to be escorted by his friends to local discos and restaurants and sometimes even needed police escorts to keep his obsessive female fans away. Even the press couldn’t get enough of Cassidy, and they watched his every move.
