Being the third of five children, there was never a dull moment in the Sykes house. He was always pretty close with his siblings Oliver Michael Sykes(November 23, 1985), Casey Walker Sykes(April 15, 1987), Kellie Lucile Sykes(August 1, 1992) and Jaden Xander Sykes(June 9, 1999). The Sykes' moved to Atlanta, Georgia when Zane was a year old. Ronnie had been offered a job at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Pediatric Hospital and he just couldn't refuse. The whole family would take two vacations a year back to Idaho to visit family. Wanting their children to be well-rounded and ready for life, when the time came the Sykes enrolled each of them into Woodward Academy, a private college preparatory school for grades K-12. top Relationships Zane Sykes in 2009. "I literally told her everything and then I kissed her. It wasn't a smart move. It resulted in me getting slapped and my heart broken...but it was her wedding day. I was sure she would hate me forever after that...things certainly changed." Rumors of an affair between the two surfaced in March of 2008. Despite photographic evidence of them going on dates, holding hands and even including Josephine, Annamarie's daughter with Casey, they both denied that anything was going on. Annamarie claimed she was "happily married to Zane's brother"...Four months after the rumors started, Annamarie filed for divorce. Less than a year later, on March 14, 2009 Zane married Annamarie. "As soon as I saw her she was it for me, there was never anyone else. There was never going to be anyone else. I didn't see a reason to wait." Although it is believed Zane was the cause of the end of his brother's marriage, no one knows for sure as none of them will talk about it. Sykes has said the following when asked about his brother. "Casey and I have a strained relationship at best. I'll admit it's gotten better, we've actually spoken. That's more because of Joey than anything else though. He's my brother, I love him. The ball is in his court and has been for a while." top Parenthood In marrying Annamarie, Zane gained his niece Josephine Olivia Sykes(September 16, 2006) as a step-daughter. "Joey" lives with Zane and his wife full time. It has been said that she is very fond of her uncle. On October 19, 2009 Zane and Annamarie welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Isabella Maye Sykes. Weighing in at 6lbs. 10oz. she was a good sized baby for being five weeks early. "I was crazy nervous, she was so tiny. Bella is everything I could have ever dreamed for and more. That beautiful little girl has me wrapped around her tiny little finger. It's a wonderful feeling though, being a father. She means the world to me and Anna is an amazing mother." In fact Isabella might be the one to bring Zane and Casey closer together as the five of them, Zane, Annamarie, Isabella, Josephine and Casey have been seen having family outings recently. Full of laughter and smiles, the family seems to be headed in the direction of reconciliation. Also January 1, 2011 the musician announced that he and his wife are expecting their second child sometime this summer. top Woodward Academy Academics Zane really enjoyed attending Woodward Academy, often stating it's the best decision his parents could have made in regards to the schooling for their children. More so than any of his siblings, Zane really excelled in school. The only subject he ever got a grade lower than an A was Foreign Language, it's just not his thing. He loved English and History, though anything to do with performing arts were always his favorites. He played a lot of sports as well. Zane's schedule has always been super busy, for as long as he can remember. top Arts Zane Sykes playing piano. Zane never intended on using his talents to become a famous musician. He never thought that was in the cards for him, music was just a hobby for him, as was the acting. He enjoyed it tremendously, but never thought anything more of it. He formed The Naked Mondays because his brothers wanted to, he never expected it to get as big as it did and he always intended on leaving the band to pursue his true calling. He knew what he wanted to do with his life and it wasn't music. It wasn't until his chance to have his career of choice was taken from him that he even considered music as a permanent alternative. top Sports Zane Sykes playing Baseball. "I love baseball and I'll continue to play it until my body just won't let me anymore. However, I honestly do enjoy what I do now. It wasn't my first choice, but I learned you gotta be happy with what you can do, not let what you can't do keep you down." top Acting At Atlanta International Airport. While at Woodward Academy, Zane developed a love for the theater. He's done numerous plays and plans on continuing to do them...when things slow down and he has the time for it. "I'd love to do more plays, they're a lot of fun. I'd love to do more acting. Of course the right one or the right script would have to come along first, but trust me, as soon as it does, I am so there." He's done bit parts in a few movies and has had some guest appearances on television shows. Usually he just does what he does best and plays a musician, but he'd like to move past that and actually do a more challenging role. One where he's not just playing someone like himself. "If the opportunity comes along, I'd be all for playing a lead role in a movie that's not about music...or sports. Though a sports one wouldn't be too bad, I'd really enjoy playing a character with real depth. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'd say no to a musical, or that I'll never play a lead role if it's as a musician. I would just rather play something else." With the addition to his family and another addition coming soon, don't expect to see anything new from him anytime soon though. top Singing The Naked Mondays Zane on tour with The Naked Mondays. top Solo Sykes at his first solo gig. "My family is my number one priority, but don't worry. I love what I do and I'll definitely be back. I've just been working non-stop since before Bella was born, I'm gonna take a break now and enjoy everything while she's still little. I don't want to miss anything, she's my little girl and she's already growing too fast. I'm sure I'll have plenty of material when I come back next year." top Awards and Nominations At the Young Hollywood Awards.
