"My mom, it's just a motherly thing. There's nothing like a mother daughter relationship. Especially in swings like Asia where it maybe is more isolated than usual, we just play Uno lot.""We actually didn't argue. Yesterday I think was the first time we argued a little bit because we spend too much time with each other. It wasn't an argument, but we just get annoyed," she added.Coco Gauff also praised Candi for being a constant source of support, helping with everything, from emotional encouragement to packing for big events.
