Bill Burr's Daughter Lola Burr Changed His Perspective on Life
Stand-up comedian Bill Burr has two children with his wife, Nia Renee Hill. Their eldest, Lola Burr, brought many changes into their lives as they experienced parenthood for the first time.
Although he is a popular figure, Bill keeps much of his private life, including Lola, out of the spotlight and does not share her photos on social media.
However, Lola's father does not shy away from discussing his daughter in interviews or during his stand-up comedy shows. The father of two has talked about how he once changed the ending of a recording session as the initial joke felt like it may upset his daughter. Additionally, he spoke about how being a dad changed his life views.
Lola Burr Is Bill Burr's First Child
On January 20, 2017, then 48-year-old Bill welcomed his first child, Lola, with his wife, Hill. That makes Lola an Aquarius. Their daughter arrived about three and a half years after their wedding.
Lola's parents married in September 2013 after dating for a long time. They met and fell in love while attending Emerson College in Boston, after which they briefly lived together before moving to Los Angeles in search of more work opportunities. This was all before Lola was in the picture.

In May 2020, Hill announced that Lola would be getting a younger sibling. In June 2020, Lola's mother shared a picture of herself holding a newborn son. Just before Hill got pregnant with Lola, Bill said he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get his wife pregnant as he felt he was too old. He noted:
“I was worried that I was too old to do it, so the fact that the plumbing still worked was a relief. I was hoping I wasn’t going to have to do the whole Westworld thing where I was going to have to go into a lab and they were going to have to milk some sort of life out of me."

Lola Burr's Father Once Did Not Record a Joke So as Not to Upset Her
Although Lola is still young, she has already been on a few adventures with her father. On their first father-daughter movie, her dad decided to take her to watch what he thought was the children's film, "Dumbo." However, to their surprise, the film was unsuitable for child viewing, leaving Lola wanting to go home to her mother.
Admittedly, Bill alluded that he is not very good at parenting while performing live. He referred to an instance when he got mad about a text on his phone telling him he had missed a meeting. His reaction was so over-the-top and loud that it scared Lola, who was in another room but ran to where he was crying.
However, Lola's father is very caring and mindful of his daughter's feelings. Bill revealed that he had once changed the closing joke while recording his stand-up comedy special made for Netflix, "Paper Tiger." He did that to protect his daughter, who he felt would not take it well if she heard it.
Lola Burr Changed Her Father's View of Life
When Lola was still one, Bill made an appearance on "Conan" and was asked what, in his opinion, was the best thing about being a father. In response, Bill pointed out that going to the park with Lola and pushing her on the swing was something that he enjoyed a lot.
In addition, at Lola's first birthday party, he realized how lucky he was to have a girl. He explained his view saying, "Girls just chill out and take things in, and I saw the little boys; they are like maniacs, they are like throwing stuff and reaping [things]."
Bill Burr says he has developed a different perspective on life since becoming a dad. One is that he "didn't have that ridiculous joy that comes with the balance of life, fear, and worry that happens the second you become a dad."
Bill has even learned how to do Lola's hair after he had a crazy thought that one day Hill might not be around and their daughter would go to school with messed up hair. He hilariously conceded that he started paying more attention to women's hairdos while watching movies so that he could style Lola.
