Andrew Keegan Gives Rare Update on Daughter Aiya, 8, Jokes He ‘Capped Out’ with 3rd Grade Homework Help

Andrew Keegan has major respect for teachers, especially as a dad.

The actor gave a rare comment about his only child, daughter Aiya Rose, during a Sabrina the Teenage Witch panel at 90s Con in Daytona Beach, Fla., revealing her schoolwork is now a little beyond what he is able to help her with.

“I have an 8-year-old daughter who’s in 3rd grade,” said Keegan, 45. “We’re doing homework and I’m about capped out. I’m doing reading comprehension the other day, the math … ”

“The teacher she has now is great,” he continued during the panel, held on Saturday, Sept. 14. “So I’m reliving it now, really having such an appreciation for teachers in general.”

Keegan regularly shares photos to social media of his daughter, whom he welcomed in 2016 with Arista Ilona after a 77-hour labor.

“We started at home and then we went to the hospital,” Keegan told PEOPLE after Aiya’s birth. “There’s nothing sane about 77 hours like that. It’s just staying supportive throughout, and there was a lot of circling around.”

“It’s a very animalistic thing that happens so you just have to drop into your more natural state,” the 10 Things I Hate About You actor continued. “Just be supportive and let her go through what she needs to go through.”

But in a moment it’s all forgotten with one glance. “It’s worth it when you see her giggling and smiling at us,” Keegan said of their daughter. “You don’t even think about it.”

Keegan sent out a Father’s Day message to his fellow dads on Instagram in June, in a post that included photos of himself and Aiya at the beach, on a boat and more.

“Happy Father’s Day to all the dads!” the Camp Nowhere star wrote. “Such a great week/weekend, Aiya finished 2nd grade and we had a couple great beach days with friends and fam!”

“Surfing, volleyball and some boating with my daughter is a pleasure beyond words! Love my lil A,” Keegan concluded.
