Jillian Hervey is all grown up and taking the music world by storm with her soulful vocals. However, her mother, Vanessa Williams, reminded her that she was once just her little girl in a recent Instagram post.

Taking to Instagram, Vanessa Williams and her family chose to honor her bold daughter Jillian Hervey on her birthday. In a post, Williams shared rare photos of her when she was a baby.

In the first photo, the little Hervey looked like a diva while dressed in pink, blue, and golden attire. She had a furry scarf on with elegant gloves completing the outfit.

Hervey was completely adorable in the second photo with her fluffy black hair and large dark eyes which sparkled as she gazed into the lens. Taking to the caption, her mother expressed:

"Yeah , it’s @lionbabe ‘s Birthday Day today! And what?! My glamorous girl, enjoy your special day with gusto."

In the post, Williams thanked him for giving her their three children. Jillian's half-sister Sasha is the daughter of Williams and her second ex-husband, Rick Fox, who Williams also honored on Instagram.
