Last year, during an interview with PEOPLE, the athlete stated:
“They make it to the shows as often as they can. When they’re not here, they’re watching online. I love having them with me. and I think it’s important to have your family support you. It’s definitely fun to have them around. They’re the best supporters. They’re always happy no matter how I do, which is nice.”
