Jennifer Freeman, best known for her role on My Wife and Kids, recently celebrated a special milestone-her daughter Bella’s 15th birthday.

The proud mom, who shares Bella with ex-husband Earl Watson, hosted a private dinner with close family and friends at Ysabel in West Hollywood, California.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Jennifer expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of love her daughter received on her special day.

“Thank you for all of the birthday wishes and everyone who made Isabella’s birthday special,” she shared alongside a series of photos from the evening. “Happy Birthday @amoraisabella. You are so loved.”

On Bella’s actual birthday, October 2nd, Jennifer penned a touching tribute to her daughter, sharing an emotional message:

“To my precious @amoraisabella 

My heart, my world, my blessing. 
Today as you celebrate your 15th birthday I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible journey we’ve shared together. You are my greatest teacher and I admire your passionate spirit that allows you to be bold and fearless in any setting.

Your wisdom far exceeds your years, and it amazes me how you approach life with such grace and resilience.

Even though you are now taller than me, you will forever be my baby girl. Being your mother has been the best blessing , the richest experience, and the absolute joy of my life.

Happy birthday, my darling Isabella. You are a true treasure, a divine gift in my life, and my favorite girl! 

With all my love,
Mommy”

Earl Watson, Bella’s father and former NBA player, also showed his love for his daughter on her birthday, posting, “Happy birthday my Isabella. Love you mucho.”

Jennifer often shares glimpses of her close bond with Bella on social media. Just a few days before her birthday, on National Daughters Day, Freeman wrote another sweet message: “Happy #nationaldaughtersday to my sweet angel face @amoraisabella. I love you so much!”
