“Koa slightly skeptical,” JJ wrote on top of another Instagram Stories snap. This one shows him bending down and talking to Koa, who listens with a straight face.

JJ told PEOPLE in January 2024 that Koa is already following in his parents' footstepswhen it comes to his love of sports.

“He’s really loving sports. He’s got his own little basketball hoop and he loves to put the ball in the hoop. He’s got some mini hockey sticks and he’s finally learning how to use two hands on the hockey stick, which is great.”

He added that he and his wife, who are both athletes, wouldn’t be against Koa taking on a sport of his choosing.

“We obviously love sports because of everything that they teach kids,” he continued. “They teach discipline, they teach hard work, they teach teamwork. They teach how to deal with winning and losing, how to deal with adversity.”

“We’ve experienced that our whole lives, so we’re really looking forward to him participating, as long as he wants to, and it seems so far like he’s interested.”
