Move over Gigi Hadid, step aside Kendall Jenner, there’s a new model offspring in town – and this one used to play inside the White House.
Tyler Clinton, the nephew of former president Bill Clinton, has been grabbing headlines since he signed with IMG models last spring.
But this week both Tyler, 23, and his uncle made the news when Clinton decided to pay his nephew a visit at a trendy Manhattan streetwear and sneaker store.
When he’s not posing for the camera, Tyler works in retail at Kith in the Soho neighborhood. And he was on the job on Tuesday when his uncle came by.

Clinton even did a little shopping at the store, picking up a pair of $747 green Acronym pants (he is pictured here with Kith employee Nicholas Minichiello)
Clinton was accompanied by his half-brother, and Tyler’s father, Roger Clinton.
The trio happily snapped pictures together in the store, with Tyler captioning the photo ‘KITH N KIN’ on his Instagram.
Clinton also took photos with staff and, according to one Kith employee, spent time chatting with everyone during his 30 to 45 minutes in the store.
‘He was great,’ Curtis Rowser told GQ. ‘Extremely down-to-earth and conversational.’
‘You know Bill, he embodies every inch of the word “cool”. He shopped around minimally.’

Although his brother has caused him trouble in the past, it appears Clinton is quite close with his nephew Tyler (the pair are pictured here on a Labor Day golfing trip)

But that doesn’t mean the former commander-in-chief went home empty-handed.
Clinton knew exactly what he wanted when he saw an employee sporting a pair of green Acronym pants, which retail for a whopping $747.
The former president tried on a pair in his size before purchasing the pants, proudly holding them up for a picture with Kith employee Nicholas Minichiello.
Rowser said Clinton ‘literally just liked them’ and was excited that the pants were waterproof, as he can wear them for future golfing excursions.

The extended family is clearly on good terms despite a rocky history.
Clinton received flack when he gave a presidential pardon to Roger at the end of his second term, clearing him of a 1985 cocaine possession and drug trafficking conviction.
Roger pleaded guilty just months later for reckless driving in California and was arrested again for a DUI in 2016.
