23XI Racing driver Tyler Reddick recently uploaded a video where he shared insights into his personal life. Reddick talked about his three pet cats — Tux, Mila, and Winnie — and highlighted how each one has a unique personality in the household.
In the video uploaded on his eponymous YouTube channel, Reddick answered some burning questions from his fans. Answering a question regarding his three pet cats, the #45 Toyota driver introduced his pets along with their traits and duties at the Reddick household.
Being a cat person, Reddick shares a special bond with his three female felines at home. The 28-year-old describes the eldest cat, Tux, as tiny and grumpy, while Mila asserts itself as the alpha cat and the "wild animal" of the group. The newest addition to the family, Winnie, has assumed the household's pest control duties.
"Well, there's three of them. Tux is the oldest cat, I think she is 14-15 years old. She is old and tiny and grumpy. Tux where are you? she's normally laying outside. Then we got Mila, she's the wild animal of the group. I think Mila is 7 or 8 [years old] now. Very big cat, definitely the alpha cat of the house," he said [at 7:16].
"And then our newest cat, her name is Winnie. She would just come by and hang out at our house and I don't know, she's just really, really sweet to my kids. So I, really the cat, and she took care of all the mice and snakes and stuff that were hanging around the house. Felt like she earned her place. So those are the three we got, all women, so you can imagine how that goes. They like to get mad at each other, quite a bit," he added.

Tyler Reddick on son Beau's relationship with Michael Jordan
Aside from being a cat dad, Tyler Reddick and his wife Alexa are parents to their four-year-old son Beau, who celebrated his father’s Talladega victory alongside 23XI Racing co-owner Michael Jordan.
In the above video, Reddick was asked if Beau was aware of MJ's popularity. Reddick said that his son knows who Michael Jordan is but might be a little "too comfortable" around him. He also recounted a humorous moment when his son wanted to talk to MJ because his Air Jordans weren’t the right size.
"I feel like he does. Beau is telling us, he wanted to talk to Michael about how some of his shoes fit, and he wanted to make some changes to them... But Beau definitely knows who MJ is. I think he understands it, but he is definitely a little too comfortable around him," he said [at 8:13].
Tyler Reddick also reminisced of the time when his son Beau shared the victory lane with Michael Jordan at Talladega Superspeedway.
