In August 2009, former "Family Matters" star Jaleel White was given one the most rewarding jobs after he welcomed his only child and daughter, Samaya White, who shares an uncanny resemblance with him.

Years have passed since her arrival, and Samaya is growing up very fast. The beautiful girl recently celebrated her 12th birthday, and Jaleel showered his daughter with sweet words on social media.

Taking to Instagram yesterday, the proud father uploaded some snapshots of Samaya alongside a beautiful tribute. The first slide saw the 12-year-old looking stunning in a sleeveless top paired with brown shorts.

Samaya wore a black cap over her neat black braids and smiled endearingly, showing her perfect teeth. In the second slide, Jaleel shared a picture of a note to his daughter on her eighth birthday anniversary, and it was lovely.

Jaleel also told his daughter that having Magic Johnson and Halle Berry as her birthday siblings was a tough act to follow; however, he loves the path she is on.

Some minutes after the post was shared, fans and followers took to the comments section to celebrate the little girl, but most could not look past the striking resemblance between the father-daughter pair.

Apart from spending time with Samaya, Jaleel is also a source of inspiration to his beautiful daughter. The dad of one is very hardworking and has achieved a lot of success as an actor.

Since the end of the famous show "Family Matters," Jaleel has featured in several television shows and movies produced web series and is also a successful voice-over actor. He also graduated from the University of California with a degree in theatre, film, and television.

Despite all his achievements, Jaleel has also been faced with some terrible experiences. The actor was accused of verbal and physical abuse by his baby mama Bridget Hardy.

Jaleel thought to clear his name; however, according to him, it was advisable to abstain from public discussion of the issue. The actor's only hope remains that when Samaya googles her parents in the future, she would see that her father acted with class and dignity when pressed with fire.
