New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley loves being a “girl dad” like Kobe Bryant. On Sunday, SportsCenter anchor Elle Duncan recalled a conversation she once had with Bryant, in which he told her how much he loved being a girl dad.
Since the video of Duncan sharing the story went viral, “girl dad” has been trending. Barkley told NFL Gameday how much he loves being a “girl dad.”
“Yes, I’m a girl dad… she’s my everything, she’s my world,” Barkley said. “Obviously, with the devastating event that happened with Kobe and Gigi, one of the first things that came to my mind was wanting to just pick up the phone and tell my daughter I love her because you never know when your time in this world, and you never know how long your life will be.
