During a March 2022 episode of the podcastThe Scroll Down, Hill opened up about her daughter’s personality, explaining, “She reminds me a lot of myself at her age. She’s a little bit more combative … I was a little more low-key — she is half her father.”

That half seemingly extends to comedy as well.

In September 2020, Hilltweeted: “Bill told our daughter that he was going out to tell jokes. She asked me what that meant. I told her it means Daddy makes people laugh. She said, ‘I wanna tell jokes too!’ Pray for me, y’all.”
