American actress Lela Rochon is experiencing one of those mixed feelings moments of parenting. Recently, she shared a lovely picture showing her and her look-alike daughter Asia Rochon Fuqua posing all smiles.

In the snapshot, Lela and Asia could easily pass as twin sisters because of their striking resemblance and identical smiles.

Lela shared the photo to celebrate Asia's admission and impending departure to college. The mom-daughter duo also had green filter face caps on their heads. Lela's face cap had "Four Years" written on it, while Asia's had "Zero Years."

Another snapshot showed Asia posing with her dad and filmmaker Antoine Fuqua, who wore a dark gray suit over a black shirt and white pants. Lela captioned the post:

"The Graduate! Congratulations @asiafuqua #classof2021 #proudparents."

Lela and Antoine were present to witness their daughter's acting brilliance and posed for snaps with her. In the post's caption, Lela said she and her husband were proud of their baby girl.

Asia has not only taken after her mom in beauty, brains, and talent, but she has also taken after her fashion elegance. In May, she showed this trait when she attended her prom night wearing her mom's "Waiting to Exhale" premiere dress.

However, when the actress made her first appearance after the scandal in August 2019, she was spotted wearing her wedding ring and posed all smiles for pictures on the red carpet.

Lela returned to social media in September 2019 and shared a picture of herself with her wedding ring still intact. In her post's caption, she said God is good and was greeted with multiple comments from her friends and fans, who showered her with lots of love.

Lela is famous for her starring role as Robin Stokes in the 1995 romantic movie "Waiting to Exhale." In November 2020, Deadline reported that ABC had given a script commitment with penalty to "Waiting to Exhale."

Whatever happens, Lela continues to excel in her career while continuing to experience the joys of marriage and motherhood.
