Catherine Zeta-Jones is incredibly proud of her children, and on April 20, she made sure to pay a special tribute to her only daughter Carys on her birthday.
The Hollywood star took to Instagram to share a selection of pictures of the 22-year-old throughout the years, including a stunning headshot of the student looking straight into the camera.
A throwback of Carys as a young girl with Catherine also made the cut, as well as a recent picture of her on the red carpet.

She's previously featured in a number of fashion shoots alongside her mom, and back in 2019 she took part in a campaign for Fendi alongside Catherine. The pair traveled to Italy for the shoot, and spoke to HELLO! about the experience.

Of their relationship, Catherine said: "We are very close – we talk about everything.” "It’s really special – I am lucky. We are open and honest with each other. She has taught me all the ins and outs of life but also to have fun and to cherish every moment," Carys added.
She concluded : "Our sense of humour is pretty similar so we are always laughing when we are together. My mother is, honestly, the funniest person I know."
