She got emotional in the caption, writing: "To my Evie…13. I keep staring at that number wondering how it's possible. It feels like yesterday I was rocking you to sleep, and somehow now I'm looking at this incredible young woman standing in front of me."
The performer lovingly revealed her favorite thing about Evie.
Jenna shared: "What I love most about you isn't what you've accomplished, how talented you are, or even how creative and brilliant you are…It's who you are when no one is watching. Your beautiful heart."

The star concluded: "You are enough. You always have been. I am so proud of you!!!! Not for what you do, but for who you are."
