“Storytime! So we’re here at Bill’s Burgers in New York City. Right near this very table was the first time Dada met Mama,” he told the toddler. “It started as a job interview, and I was asking all these questions, asking all these questions—philosophy, religion, Jesus. Then I realized Mama was beautiful and smart and elegant and Christlike, and so I said, ‘Forget this job interview. I want to date you.’ I said, ‘I have enough friends.’ That’s where your journey started.”
At the time of publication, the video racked up more than 21.1 million views and 2.1 million likes.
In addition to a daughter, who was born in 2022, the Kirks welcomed a son in 2024.
