Michael Bublé is offering fans an intimate look into his life away from the spotlight following his surprising decision to step back from The Voice. The 50-year-old singer opens up about family, fame, and personal priorities in a new short documentary created by Rolex titled Bringing It Home.
Just over 10 minutes long, the film reveals a quieter, more reflective side of Bublé as it shifts from scenes of him performing onstage to moments inside his Vancouver-area home. The documentary opens with Bublé transitioning from life on tour to running on a treadmill overlooking his expansive backyard, underscoring the contrast between his public persona and private life.
Bublé lives near his hometown of Burnaby, British Columbia, with his wife of 14 years, Luisana Lopilato, and their four children: Noah, 12, Elias, 9, Vida, 7, and Cielo, 3. In one candid moment, he discusses his demanding schedule with his manager, listing trips from New York to Rome and then to Los Angeles to film The Voice—a routine he admits was wearing him down. With the show filming intermittently throughout the year at Universal Studios in Hollywood, the nearly four-hour flights each way from Canada added to the strain.
When Bublé learned that filming would begin earlier than expected—ultimately freeing up more time—his relief was evident.
Reflecting on his early years, Bublé shares that he always knew he wanted to be an entertainer. He recalls his journey through the music industry, from early ambitions to selling more than 70 million records and performing in arenas and stadiums around the world.
The documentary then shifts back to his home life, where cameras follow Bublé into his basement—home to a regulation-size ice hockey rink. Fully suited in hockey gear, he explains that the rink is his escape, a place where he can unwind and live out childhood dreams, often skating alongside his son.
“This is kind of like my oasis,” he says. “Where I can come and escape and just chill out a little bit.”
Bublé becomes especially emotional when discussing family and the life-changing moment that reshaped his priorities. In 2016, his son Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer, a devastating experience that forever altered his perspective.
“It shattered our family,” he shares in the film. “But the doctors were incredible, people prayed for us, and thank God my son is okay. What it did was change my life.”
He explains that the experience helped him understand what truly matters—gratitude, presence, and appreciating every moment. For years, he says, ambition and ego drove his choices, but that mindset faded in the face of his family’s reality.
Sources close to the singer say this shift is the reason behind his decision to step away from The Voice. Bublé is now focused on spending more time in Canada and being present for his wife and children.
“He doesn’t want to be a celebrity dad who’s always gone,” an insider shared. “He wants to be there—fully there—for his family.”
As Bringing It Home makes clear, Bublé isn’t stepping back out of loss, but out of love—choosing home, family, and balance over the relentless pace of fame.
