The next day Levine took to Twitter to offer a longer explanation, expressing his desire to make his four kids—ages 12, 10, 8 and 6—more of a priority and move the family back to Houston, a city they’d fallen in love with when Levine served as the University of Houston’s head coach from 2011 to ’14.
