Jennifer Freeman is celebrating a big milestone in her daughter’s life.

The My Wife and Kids star recently hosted a backyard party for her only child, Isabella, who turned 16 on Oct. 1.

In photos from the celebration, the teen wore a shimmering gown while posing with her mom in front of a white balloon backdrop. Another showed her standing near a table decorated with pearls, candles, and a two-tier cake that read, “Happy 16th Birthday Isabella.”

Freeman also marked the occasion with a tribute on Instagram, sharing a sweet message about the joy Isabella has brought her since becoming a mom.

“You made me a mom and every day since you’ve brought so much purpose, joy, and love into my life. I still can’t believe you’re 16! It feels like just yesterday I held you for the first time.” she wrote.

The proud mom, who shares Isabella with ex-husband Earl Watson, went on to praise her daughter’s resilience and growth.

“Your journey so far has shown me the incredible strength and resilience you possess, overcoming so many hard things at such a young age. Watching you turn challenges into opportunities for growth has been nothing short of inspiring. I have no doubt that you are destined for incredible things, and I am so excited to see the amazing future you will create.”

She continued, “You have the biggest heart, a beautiful sense of humor, and a wisdom beyond your years. I am so proud of the young lady you have become kind, strong, resilient, and true to yourself. You are my greatest blessing, and I am forever grateful that you chose me to walk alongside you as your mom.”

Freeman ended her post with a note of gratitude, saying, “Thank you for filling my life with purpose and love every single day. I love you more than words can express. Happy 16th my beautiful girl!”
