'Ugly Betty' star Vanessa Williams' daughter and her ex-husband, Rick Fox, shared a heartwarming photo of themselves enjoying a father-daughter date.
Vanessa Williams and Rick Fox played lovers on "Ugly Betty." Off-camera, They had just divorced a year before the hit show aired in 2006.
The former couple has one daughter together, Sasha Fox. Just like her famous parents, she is pursuing a career as an actress and model.
Sasha is a rising plus-size model who has walked the runway for Serena Williams' self-titled fashion collection, "Serena." She has also recently ventured into acting.
For her movie debut, Sasha appeared alongside her father in the holiday movie, "One Fine Christmas." During an interview with Extra TV, Rick revealed that it was the first time they had worked together.
The proud father said that although Sasha had grownup on movie sets for most of her childhood, he and Vanessa wanted their daughter to wait until she was older before they allowed her to pursue a career as an actress.
Sasha admitted that she was wanted to act from a young age. However, she was glad that her parent's decision allowed her to have a normal high school experience before exploring Hollywood.
Despite their busy careers, Rick and Sasha have always shared a close bond. The two occasionally post photos of their special moments together. They have enjoyed everything from going to a theme park to watching a game of professional tennis.
