Shanna Moakler Gushes Over Daughter Atiana's Resemblance With Late Mom

Shanna Moakler is celebrating the legacy of beauty passed down through generations.

After her mother passed earlier this year, Moakler has been going down memory lane and finding sweet little ways of honoring her memory. In a recent post, she did the same but turned the attention to the striking resemblance that her first daughter Atiana shares with her beloved late grandmother.

The reality TV star passed down some of her incredible genes from the late matriarch to her children, judging by how stunning they all look. The star, who shares the 24-year-old with boxer Oscar De La Hoya and two kids, Landon and Alabama, with rocker Travis Scott took to her page with a heartfelt tribute. 

In the image, Atiana looked stunning in a black blazer without a shirt or a bra over a mini skirt, sporting beautiful red-tinted dark hair and nude makeup with plum-colored lips. In the caption, the proud mother-of-three wrote:

"My beautiful daughter @atianadelahoya she resembles my mom so much to me. Such a good soul you are. Love you. ❤️👸🏻⚓️." 

The budding model responded to the sweet sentiment with a comment of her own that read, "Love you 🥰♥️." She also received an outpouring of admiration for her breathtaking beauty from Moakler's followers, who described her as "absolutely gorgeous" and " stunning."

Others also pointed out the striking resemblance she bears to the actress's late mother, like this admirer who noted, "She really looks like your mom, she is a natural beauty 😍 RIP 🙏🏻 ." Another wrote, "She is gorgeous, all your kids are beautiful." This user gushed, "She is a beautiful, elegant, and classy young lady!!"

The "Pacific Blue" star took her admiration further by posting the same picture to her Instagram story and wrote, "My beautiful daughter @atianadelahoya." 

The "Bridalplasty" host is definitely proud of her baby girl, and it showed even more when she celebrated her 24th birthday. She shared a series of old photos capturing precious moments with her adorable daughter.

The collection included an endearing black-and-white snapshot of Moakler tenderly kissing her little girl's head, who appeared unfazed by the commotion, focusing instead on a plate of delicious treats.

In the delightful slideshow, the mother-daughter duo showcased their playful antics, a simple selfie, and the birthday celebrant in a candid moment, wearing a red shirt and lying on the floor. The last two pictures showcased Atiana's gorgeous ginger hair, capturing her unique and eye-catching beauty. In the heartfelt caption, the 48-year-old wrote:

"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."

Expressing her immense gratitude, she acknowledged her past mistakes and affirmed that she must have done something right with Atiana.

In a touching tribute, the actress mourned the loss of her "beautiful and kind and loving" mother and marked her bittersweet birthday milestone. The former Miss New York USA had announced her mother's passing at 77 in January, expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support and condolences from friends and family.

To mark her posthumous birthday, the "Hollywood Exes" star took to her Instagram Story to share a vintage photograph of her parents, capturing an intimate moment filled with love and smiles. 

Sharing her sentiments, she wrote across the picture, "Happy heavenly bday, Mom," and expressed her longing to spend the day with Gail, reminiscing about cherished moments they shared. She then mentioned their favorite spot, writing:

"I wish so badly we could go to Ricotti's, sit on the deck, have a screwdriver[.] look at birds and listen to The Bee Gees." 

Amid the significant milestones following her passing, Moakler also marked her first Mother's Day alone. In honor of the day, she shared a photo of her and a younger Gail embracing each other, with the words "Happy Mother's Day" displayed in vibrant colors. 

She further celebrated by posting a throwback photo of her beloved parent playfully lifting her near a bridge over a scenic body of water.
