But Wie’s journey wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. The ex-golfer traveled with her toddler, Makenna Kamalei Yoona West. Wie opened up about the struggles of traversing through a long flight with a baby through her stories, which certainly was an unexplored experience for her. “5.5 hour flights with a toddler is simply…survival…,” she explained in her story.

Wie shares her baby daughter with former basketball player Jonnie West, who is the Director of Basketball Operations for the Golden State Warriors NBA team. He’s also the son of former NBA legend Jerry West, who is regarded as one of the game’s greatest-ever players.
