Helen George showed off her daughter Wren's long red locks in an adorable photo she shared on Thursday.
The Call The Midwife actress, 42, is mother to Wren, eight, and Lark, four, with her ex-partner Jack Ashton, who played vicar Tom Hereward on the BBC drama for four years.
Taking to Instagram, Helen posted a snap of her eldest child walking down a country road in a T-shirt and shorts. Alongside the post, she wrote: "When the chaos leaves, the calm resumes."

Helen fell for her ex Jack on the set of the BBC drama in 2014 but they sadly called it quits in 2023. Confirming the news of their separation, the thespian pair revealed they were committing to co-parenting their two "beautiful" daughters.
"Some months ago, we separated. Our two beautiful girls remain the focus and I respectfully ask for privacy for this next chapter," their official statement read.
How Helen and her ex co-parent
While it may seem hard to understand how Jack and Helen manage co-parenting with their thriving careers in the acting industry, he previously told HELLO! that they have a rule between them about accepting theatre work, that being, every other job has to be based near home.
"I won't be going on tour for a little bit; that's basically the rule. After a play or after a tour, the next will be something that allows me to be at home and then travel from home," he said.
Jack emphasised that their girls are at the centre of any career decision either he or Helen makes. "Every decision has to be weighed up. If it's going to cause too much stress, then you have to say no, because at the end of the day the kids, the kids come first."

"Helen and I co-parent; we both do it, as in we both work in the industry, for the girls, it's feast or famine when you're working; it's full on. But there are periods in between jobs, and they get a lot of you; you're there, you're there for everything, and that's great. So I think that that can hope that hopefully helps with the times you're not there, and so because we both do it.
"You know, hopefully they'll be with one of us, you know, so like, you know, if we can time it, you know, so that one of us is working and one of us isn't, which is, you know, that's just luck, that helps, you know, but, it isn't easy. But I think the industry is changing quite a bit, you know, people are a bit more, I've noticed it in theatre. They are a lot more accommodating. It's Wren's sports day on Friday, and I've got the day off for it because I missed it last year because I was touring last year but in the past that may not have been the case."
