Savannah
Savannah is Bartie's mother. In the beginning of his life, he lived with her in Paris, France as she was determined to be a single mother and did not want to be an obligation to his father, Bertrand. Once the truth comes out, she co-parents Bartie with Bertrand until they begin to date again and later get married.

Bertrand
Bertrand is Bartie's father. During King "Liam"'s bachelor party in Paris, Drake angrily assaults him and informs him of Bartie's existence. Bertrand is shocked as he believed Savannah left for other reasons. After a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings, Bertrand becomes the father Bartie needs and a better man to Savannah.

Drake
Drake is Bartie's uncle. For a while, Drake did not know of his existence since Savannah had left Cordonia when she was a few months pregnant. In The Royal Romance, Book 2, Chapter 8, when investigating an address he found in the Beaumont study, you both happen upon her apartment and hear Bartie cry. You can convince him to stay in a premium scene to let Savannah tell him what happened or you both can leave. If you choose the second, he feels if Savannah had to hide Bartie's existence from him, that she did not trust him. It takes some time for Drake to talk to Savannah again.

Maxwell
Maxwell is Bartie's uncle.
