The doting father also highlighted: "She has a very sweet kind of way of looking at you and just taking you in [...] she's thinking, she's observing everything, and watching. It's really interesting." Robert then ended his response by noting that he wants to be around for as long as possible to enjoy raising his baby girl.

Additionally, the same year, the dad of seven gushed over Gia again: "She's just an adorable young, little innocent thing, it's just amazing."
