However, it seems that Bobby didn’t have the typical teenage daughter experience.

Instead, he sang Sophie’s praises when asked what it was like raising her.

She’s a great kid," he said.

Sophie added that her dad isn’t entirely a pushover.

When she does something wrong, he would be very serious about it and she would feel pretty intimidated.

‘She’s had a couple little, tiny little …events, shall we say?"

Bobby told the outlet that he is incredibly proud of Sophie.

“She has this great work ethic.

While she may be busy, she occasionally spends time in the kitchen.

In 2019, when asked byParadeif she likes to cook, Sophie was honest.

“I’m kind of new to it in a sense.

I didn’t really like cooking until I was getting ready to graduate from college.

I do leave most of the cooking to my dad, though.”

We would leave the cooking to Bobbly Flay too, to be honest.

Now, Sophie enjoys cooking but mostly gets her recipes from TikTok like the rest of us.

Sophie promised plenty of humor, laughter, and a glimpse into their lives.
