In October, Watts admitted in a new interview that she’s “a little bit of a mommy” when it comes to her teenage daughter, Kai.
Watts said of Kai on Today with Jenna & Friends on Oct. 21, “She’s very young, but she’s working really hard and it was good to see her take pride in what she’s doing.”
The teenager entered the modeling world and appeared in shows at New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week this fall.
“It’s exciting and she’s much younger than we expected. But for Kai, we felt she was ready,” Watts added.
In a profile for Interview Magazine in June of this year, Kai spoke candidly about her modeling ambitions and how she knew what she wanted to do from an early age.
“I want to be a supermodel. Enough is enough,” she said at the time. “I’ve been practicing my walks in the kitchen for years. My mom shows me all the videos she forced me to film.”
She added that her career change influenced her professional dreams.
“It probably has something to do with the fact that I struggled with my gender identity from a young age,” she says. “I always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, and influential woman like Marilyn (Monroe).”
