Fifty-two-year-old Kelly Slater and Chinese-American girlfriend Kalani Miller, 36, share exciting baby news!
The rumours of Kelly Slater becoming a new daddy had been swirling, as they say, for months.
Now, Kelly Slater and his Chinese-American bikini mogul girlfriend Kalani Miller, have finally revealed the pregnancy in a poignant black-and-white short shared to both their social media channels. Set to the moving sounds of the old Ben Harper tune The Three of Us, we see Slater, fifty-two, and thirty-six-year-old Kalani strolling the Hawaiian sands, embracing, Slater’s hands wrapped protectively around Kalani’s pregnant stomach.
It’ll be Kalani’s first kid and Kelly Slater’s second.
Back in 1996, Tamara Michelle gave birth to a daughter, Taylor, in Slater’s home town, Cocoa Beach, Florida, where she was raised. In a country famous for its tell-alls, it spoke well of Tamara, Kelly and Taylor that, despite media pressure, none of ’em spoke of their lives, although Slater did talk briefly, about the guilt he felt for not being a “full-time Dad.”
“The whole time my daughter has been raised by her mother almost 100 percent in physical time and I’ve been traveling,” Slater told Graham Bensinger. “The hardest part, I think for me, is my daughter feeling like she doesn’t have a dad there all the time. And that’s hard for her. I know it was especially hard for her when she was younger.”
Taylor Slater, who is twenty-eight, is a noted photographer and painter.
