JoAnna Garcia Swisher spoke about watching Nick Swisher be a girl dad to their daughters Emerson Jay and Sailor Stevie in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.

He was the ultimate girl dad," she says, appearing to choke up at the mention of her father, Jay Garcia, who died in 2019. The Sweet Magnolias star calls Nick her daughters' "number one fan" and "biggest hype man," adding that he spends intentional time with them to get to know them as people, which is "such a gift." "There is no speech or Instagram tribute that could ever express the love I have for my father and the devastation I feel after losing him," she wrote in the caption of a photo of her dad walking her down the aisle at her wedding to Nick in 2010.
