A spokesperson for the Rittenhouse family said to expect "great things" from Kyle in the coming years.
Rittenhouse was found not guilty of killing two men and injuring a third in August 2020, during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Spokesperson David Hancock appeared on Fox News following the verdict.
"You're going to see some great things coming out of Kyle in the next few years," he said.
He added that Kyle makes his own decisions and that he will be going to college in the near future.
Rittenhouse's defense attorney Mark Richards said that Rittenhouse wants to become a nurse and said he hopes he keeps a low profile.
Republican politicians posted to Twitter to express their support of the verdict. Some have claimed they are ready to offer Rittenhouse an internship if he wants it.
"I will arm wrestle @mattgaetz to get dibs for Kyle as an intern," Rep. Paul Gosar wrote.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn posted a video on Instagram live that included text that read "KYLE: IF YOU WANT AN INTERNSHIP, REACH OUT TO ME."
Hancock claimed that Rittenhouse "wanted to tell everyone, the world, his story" which is why he decided to take the stand.
"Nobody knew Kyle, nobody knows what was in his heart and in his head, but they wanted to pretend that they knew," Hancock said.
He also said he is "speechless and proud" of the "resilience of that young man" and that Rittenhouse was "dealt a lot of crappy cards."
