Kate Upton's daughter Vivi is just like her dad Justin Verlander.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 32, recently appeared on PEOPLE in 10, where she revealed the one aspect of her 5-year-old's personality that she cannot relate to.

The proud mom tells PEOPLE that her husband and daughter are "big rule followers," adding, "They both love a rule, and they will follow it. I’m not."

Upton explained that she chalks the difference up to birth order. "She is an only child and Justin is a first child, and I really think that there’s a birth order thing," she adds. "I’m a third child. I’ve never met a rule, so she doesn’t get that from me."

Upton then revealed what Vivi gets from her mom: "She loves to dance and have a good time, and she loves to be in the moment," she says. "I think she gets that from me."

When discussing her love for being in the moment, the model opened up about the pressure she's felt to have more children as -

a married woman.

"It starts when you’re dating. ‘When’s the ring coming? When are you guys getting engaged?’, " Upton says, recalling the questions she was constantly asked. "And then you get engaged. ‘When’s the wedding? When’s the first child?'"

"You’re like, ‘Can I just be in the moment?’"

The Other Woman actress also spoke about her daughters' impressive sense of style. "She is so good at mixing patterns," Upton tells PEOPLE. "Every time she pulls out a floral and a stripe, I’m like, ‘Girl that’s crazy.' And then she puts it on and I’m like, ‘It works!’"

In the past, Upton has even questioned if Vivi has better style than she does When speaking with PEOPLE in April, she said, "She loves to get dressed with me. I think she has better style than Justin and I, so she picks out all her own clothes," Upton joked.

"And that makes me so happy, because clothes are such a creative expression of yourself, and I love that she has found that even at her age."
