Birkhead has previously said that he’s trying to give Dannielynn a normal childhood, despite her famous mom.
“I’ve had companies call me since [Dannielynn appeared in a Guess campaign] and ask for her to model, and that answer’s no,” he said during a20/20interviewin 2017. “She doesn’t show any interest in it. She wants to be a kid.”
Birkhead said during the same interview that Dannielynn enjoyed doing typical tween things, like Girl Scouts, Snapchat, eating French fries and taking care of her pet lizard.
“I think here in Kentucky is as normal as you can get,” Birkhead previously toldInside Editionabout giving his daughter a life away from the limelight. “She loves school. She loves her friends. I just hope that she dreams big and accomplishes a lot.”
