Regarding her life as an NFL star's daughter, she told The Reflections Show: "It was great because...I mean, I probably grew up how every kid would want to.
"That was the great part, the sweet part. It was traveling all the time, meeting celebrities, and we had chefs.
"The bitter part is because I was always judged a lot at school."
She added: "I didn't have as many friends, I was always traveling with my parents."

"But I'm definitely interested in doing my own thing, too, so both could be gratifying.
"No matter where I go, I'm going to have the same target on my back. So, it's just finding what's best for me."

"You got to make something for yourself and that's my main thing every day, at the end of the day," Shilo explained to PEOPLE.
"It doesn't matter what pops did, it matters about me and what I've done in this world and what I did with my lifetime because I got the opportunity to do a lot of things."
