Jessica Alba marked her oldest daughter Honor Warren’s 18th birthday with a family reel that arrived just after another major milestone: high school graduation.
The actress and Honest Company co-founder shared the Instagram tribute on Sunday, June 7, using photos and videos from Honor’s childhood, family trips, and recent celebrations. People reported that Alba called Honor “my sweet girl, my brilliant girl, my shining light” in the caption.
The post was set to The Beatles’ “Blackbird,” a song that matched the graduation-and-adulthood timing without needing much explanation from Alba.
Honor’s birthday comes as she prepares for Yale University in the fall, following her father Cash Warren’s path to the school.
