Tiana’s TikTok video of the two dancing on stage in their matching tutus has racked up over 22 million views so far. Paopao even captioned it, “He’s the best daddy a girl could have.”

The mom told "Good Morning America" that Willow began ballet lessons back in October and has fallen in love with it.

She said her husband takes their daughter to ballet practice every Saturday and make sure to go for ice cream after each session. Paopao said it's the father-daughter duo's thing and their special time to bond.
