Kelly Slater though merciless in the ocean, he has a soft spot for his daughter Taylor. Taylor Slater is the only daughter of Kelly Slater and Tamara Mitchell and was born in 1996. Slater’s bitterness over not being able to see his daughter grow up properly has not affected their relationship.

Slater recently shared a photo of himself and his daughter from her wedding day, on his Instagram story. Taylor can be seen wearing a beautiful white dress as her father wears a black suit. By the look of it, anyone could assume it’s a big day for his daughter and him too.
