The pair spoke to Access Hollywood about their yearly tradition of going to the Kentucky Derby, with Danielynn attending every year since age three.
“The first time she ever came, she was so small… she was just learning to walk and then I carried her. She fell asleep with a bottle in her hand,” Larry said.
“Here she is wearing her mum’s dress, so it’s just kind of like a moment that you cherish, you look up and time’s flown.”
Larry and Anna Nicole met at the Kentucky Derby when he was a photographer sent to cover the event.
It’s the only time the very private father-and-daughter attend in public.
