Who is Mia Burleson? 'CBS Mornings' host Nate Burleson's daughter, 13, makes her runway debut at Rookie USA Fashion Show
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Former NFL star Nathaniel "Nate" Burleson is known for being a man of many talents and his children are no different. Recently, the 'CBS Mornings' host's youngest and only daughter Mia Burleson made her fashion runway debut, kicking off her modeling career at a very young age.
Mia's interests do not just lie in the world of fashion but are scattered in various areas, just like her multi-talented father. She has already started making progress towards her goals while just being a teenager.
Mia Burleson bags gig with Nickelodeon's Primetime show
Mia, while being a 13-year-old, has already scored a spot as the reporter for Nickelodeon's Primetime show 'NFL Slimetime'.
She reportedly joined the show with her own segment called 'Big Time, Big Facts' last year in August. The primetime show recently returned with an all-new season and Mia was able to retain her spot in the host line-up.
The Burleson daughter is perfect for the role, not just because her father was an NFL star or because her older brothers are following in his footsteps by pursuing the sport as well.
Mia is also taking after her family members, including her athlete mother, Atoya, by being a football player herself.
Mia utilizes her exposure in her segment, reporting on current and upcoming matches as well as providing some child-friendly fun tidbits for the Nickelodeon audience.

My daughter Mia made her fashion runway debut, modeling @nike and @jumpman23 ! She killed it per usual and I’m a proud mama! Thank you @rookieusa ! Great job @_miaburleson! We are so proud of you!"
