Nia, 48, took to Instagram a few days back to announce that her older son Massai Zhivago Dorsey Jr., is officially a college freshman.

Still To Come: Massai Jr. is the product of a relationship between Nia and her former partner, actor Massai Dorsey Sr.

The actress posted a black-and-white image that shows her giving Massai a tender kiss as the teenager smiled at the camera.

“Blood, sweat, and tears...it’s the only way. Let’s get it baby boy!!!” the “47 Meters Down” star wrote. “[Shout] out to Massai Sr. for never missing a game and keeping our boy on course!!”
