“We don’t like to leave her at all. I am usually the one that’s away and it’s kind of tough on me, but we Facetime, so that helps out,” Shepard told us. “She looks dead at the camera! And I just made her laugh for the first time the other day. We were cracking up. It was so funny.”
Iman continued, “She smiles and coos when she hears her daddy’s voice because he talked to her when she was in the womb.”
The couple’s most happy when they’re all together, especially cheering on the NFL star at his home games.
“When Cali’s watching her daddy [play games], we always put her in the cutestNew York Giants onesies I get from the NFL Shop. She is his biggest fan, so I like to style her up and make her look cute for the games,” Iman explained.
“They have photoshoots!” Shepard added with a laugh.
While Iman’s game day attire always includes aGiants baseball cap, she’s been designing adorable customized pieces for Cali to wear when she’s rooting on her dad.
