The young man, who was born in 2000, was also wearing a white shirt and a black coat that protected him from the cold weather. In the caption, Calhoun wrote that there was nothing like a warm cup of hot cocoa.

As soon as she uploaded the photo, her fans and followers took to the comments section to share their thoughts. One of them was Instagram user Terra Jordan, who pointed out that Calhoun always takes good care of her son.

In another short video shared by the actress, both of them were shown in what appeared to be the balcony of their house. Calhoun said that the weekend had started while a jazz piece played in the background.

After her appearance on "The Best Man Holiday," Calhoun stepped away from the spotlight and acting career to raise her son, who needed special care because of his blindness. However, she seems to be picking up where she left, as she was recently spotted at a film set with a script on her hand.

Calhoun’s brother reportedly suffers from the same disability as her son, and she has stated that her perspective on life changed thanks to her brother. She learned a lot from him by going to The Braille Institute with him and added:

"I got a chance to experience life on a different level. Patience in watching these people that volunteer to work with children that have some sort of impairment.”
