In an event launch to announce her partnership with Purina Pro Plan, Kim confirmed that Reese leads an athletic life and is keen to accompany her to the gym and even during long hikes.

She added, “We go out everywhere. Whenever I’m driving somewhere, she will come with me.

Kim further added, “And whenever they know I have a trip coming up, they’re like, ‘Oh, who’s going to watch Reese? Can we take Reese?'”

Kim and Reese share a similar passion

During the event, the two-time Olympic snowboarder mentioned all the activities they like to do together.
