Shanna Moakler could not be prouder of her daughter, Atiana De La Hoya!
The model ensured she turned on the waterworks when her eldest child turned 24, sharing a touching tribute that emphasized her love for her baby girl. The post also came with various old photos from events when the reality star was younger.
Atiana, who Moakler shares with her ex-fiancé Oscar De La Hoya, was also raised by her stepdad Travis Barker and had two step-siblings— Landon and Alabama — through the rocker.
Shanna Moakler's Birthday Tribute To Atiana Warms The Hearts Of Many
Fans were beyond excited when Atiana's birthday rolled around on March 29 because they expected a sweet tribute from her doting mom, and Moakler did not disappoint. The Miss Nevada USA state pageant executive producer shared nine pictures, leading with an adorable black-and-white snap that showed her kissing her little girl's head of hair.
Little Atiana seemed unbothered by the motion, focusing instead on the plate of goodies before her. Her hair was styled into two buns with scrunchies that matched her dress.
The following two slides featured the mother-daughter goofing around, with the model donning a baby pink outfit with dark, oversized glasses. While the fourth frame was a simple selfie of the "Meet the Barkers" alums smiling, the fifth was candid of the celebrant wearing a red shirt and lying on the floor.
Atiana looked straight at the camera, covering most of her body with a blue blanket and cradling a bunny. Another selfie of the much-older actress and her mother appeared in the sixth slide before the duo struck a pose in front of the mirror in the seventh. Fans got to see the celebrant in her eye-catching ginger hair in the last two pics as her mother gushed beneath:
"I remember the day I found out I was having you! I cried [because] I was so happy. I knew you would be a girl and I knew you would be the most beautiful soul that ever was. Im so proud of the young woman you are...so intelligent, so kind and so incredibly talented."
Moakler's caption then reflected on her luck as Atiana's mother, which she believed she has "done right." She concluded with an expression of her love for the budding 24-year-old.
Amid the congratulatory messages the family received in the comments, one fan wanted the celebrant to be "grateful" for her "loving mom," and several others were obsessed with how similar the mother and daughter looked. A netizen claimed, "She looks like you in the Mexican version," and another agreed, "All your kiddos are so beautiful and the image of you."
The last time the former "Bridalplasty" host won fans over was when she publicly doted on her second daughter, Alabama, earlier this month. As reported by The Blast, the pair's rocky relationship was nowhere to be seen when the mother-of-three uploaded a collage of the 17-year-old dressed in a black shirt and sweatpants combo.
Alabama's full face of glam was beyond noticeable as she struck model-worthy poses for the camera. Her mother penned across the image, "My little baddie… so beautiful."
The Reality Television Celebrity Bonds With Alabama Over Her Long-Standing Love For Gaming
Last month, The Blast observed that Moakler took a break from her busy schedule to bond with Alabama through gaming. The Rhode Island native posted a snapshot of the teenager looking comfortable in a white and pink two-piece.
The Internet personality sat on a couch and threw up the peace sign, with headphones covering her ears and her hair under what looked like a bonnet. Tagging her at the end, her mother penned across the photo, "I'm making a gamer out of her 😂😂😘."
This would not be the first time that the 1995 Miss New York USA queen would address her undying love for gaming as she tweeted a selfie of herself wearing headphones and sunglasses while holding a console as far back as 2019.
Above the image, the December 2001 Playmate of the Month declared, "I like to game 🤩." "Ha. So Cool. I was thinking for the longest that I was the only Girl Gamer," one fan gushed in the replies, and another admitted that "gaming is so fun" in the quotes.
