In his Instagram story, both he and his son – Noah Russell Westbrook – are holding Toy Story's Woody to the camera. Russell is seen smiling at the camera and added a caption that reads – "Missing my man man" – along with a red heart. Fans found the father-son interaction adorable and took to Twitter to talk about how cute his story was. Westbrook last spoke about his son on his Instagram account on Noah's birthday in May. Players are away from their families for an extended amount of time at the NBA bubble and have spoken about the difficulties they have faced while adjusting to life at Disney.

Westbrook and his wife Nina Earl have three children – twins Skye and Jordan, who was born in 2017, and Noah, who was born in 2018. The 31-year-old star has often spoken about his children and had even changed his schedule to spend more time with them. Westbrook has also spoken about missing something about their life, even though Nina updates him regularly.

In an interview earlier this year, Westbrook had spoken about his children seeing him as a "superhero" because he was a good father and not an impressive NBA player. While being quarantined due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Westbrooks often uploaded multiple Instagram stories of their children and spending time together. Noah appears to be a Toy Story fan, as Westbrook has previously uploaded photos of him and Noah dressed as Woody and Buzz Lightyear respectively.
