Sylvester's brother, Frank Stallone, shared a special birthday message to Sophia in the comments, writing: "My niece is now 30! Happy birthday. Love you, Uncle Frank."

"Happy 30th Birthday, my beautiful Sophia! The best day of my life was the day you were born. You give me so much happiness and love!" Jennifer wrote in the caption.
"You are so smart and genuine. You make everyone feel special and heard. I am so blessed to call you my daughter and best friend. I love you forever. Mom."
Twinning with her parents
Sophia is Sylvester and Jennifer's eldest daughter, and is a proud sister to Sistine, 28, and Scarlet, 24. Before his marriage to Jennifer, Sylvester welcomed his sons Sage and Seargeoh with his first wife, Sasha Czack; sadly, Sage passed away in 2012 due to a heart condition.
While Sophia looks uncannily like her mother with her blonde locks and lithe figure, Jennifer explained to Paris Match that her daughter had the same personality and interests as Sylvester.

"They are very close. They have the same way of thinking, moving, and the same facial expressions. Sly is crazy about Sophia; he would cut himself in half for her; she is the great love of his life!"

She is the host of the popular Unwaxed podcast with her younger sister, Sistine, and is also making a name for herself in the production world with her company Callisto Media.
The 30-year-old is set to produce the upcoming TV show Bourbon & Lies, based on the bestselling book series by Victoria Wilder.

"I brought it to Balboa [Productions] because it felt like exactly the kind of bold, addictive and emotionally charged storytelling female audiences are already driving into the mainstream."
© Getty Images for amfARSophia revealed how meaningful it was to develop the series in an Instagram post announcing the happy news.
"I still remember being that little girl curled up with a book, completely lost in another world, dreaming that maybe one day, I could help bring a story to life. Today, that dream became real," she wrote. "To the fans, who love this story fiercely: I see you. I am you. This one's for all of us."
