Anthony Kim seems to be very involved in his role as a father. In the few pictures and videos available on social media, he has been seen enjoying a lot of the time he shares with Bella.

Anthony Kim's parents, early life and more
Kim was born and raised in California and is of Korean descent. His parents are named Paul and Miryoung Kim, and his full name is Anthony Ha-Jin Kim.
LIV Golf's newest signing grew up in a prominent golfing environment. Kim attended high school in La Quinta, California, the same area that often hosts tournaments such as The American Express on the PGA Tour.
Paul Kim was a central figure in his son Anthony's golf development. He was his coach in the early stages of his career and kept encouraging him to climb rung after rung in his golfing journey.
Kim played collegiate golf for the University of Oklahoma with excellent results. So much so that he was called to represent the United States in the 2005 Walker Cup.
A year later, Kim began his professional career and made his debut in style. The first tournament of Kim's professional career was the 2006 Valero Texas Open (thanks to a sponsor's exemption) and he finished T2.
He didn't have to wait long to earn his PGA Tour card for the 2007 season via Q-School. During his career at this level, Kim won three tournaments and reached the 6th spot in the world rankings in 2008.
