Lily Collins Marks Special Milestone: First Birthday as a Mama with Adorable Family Photos!

On her 36th birthday this past Tuesday, Lily Collins joyously commemorated her first year as a mother by posting delightful family photos to honor the special day.

Recently, the actress and her spouse, Charlie McDowell, became parents for the first time when they brought home their newborn daughter, Tove, who arrived a few weeks back through the help of a surrogate.

The Emily in Paris actress recently shared some heartwarming photos of her family caring for their young child on her Instagram.

Lily wrote in her caption: ‘On my first motherhood anniversary, I can’t help but feel overjoyed and believe that this moment couldn’t be any more unique and precious.’

2019 has been nothing short of enchanting, and the upcoming year promises the same charm. Words fall short in conveying my feelings of gratitude…

As a devoted admirer, let me share how I often emulate Lily’s effortless style: Casually donning a beige knitted sweater, a blue shirt, and denim jeans, I find myself striking poses reminiscent of her at scenic seashores.

After Lily marked her first Valentine’s Day as a mother, she posted a heartwarming picture of her loved ones.

The star remained faithful to her on-screen persona, taking a selfie that included herself, her three-year husband Charlie, their newborn daughter Tove, and their pet.

On her Instagram Stories, Lily posted an old picture of herself and Charlie with the caption, ‘This is how it began,’ followed by a recent family photo with the comment, ‘And this is where we are now.’

Near the familiar photo showcased prominently on her profile, the new mom expressed overflowing affection, saying, ‘I honestly cannot conceive of a deeper love. This Valentine’s Day, and indeed every day from now on, has become even more delightful…’

‘Now I’m crying (they’re happy tears dw)’ wrote Emily in Paris co-star Paul Forman. 

This year, there was an exciting announcement from the creator of Netflix’s hit show – she had just welcomed her first child into the world, as seen in a heartwarming post featuring the newborn peacefully sleeping.

In the caption intended for her 29 million fans, she expressed, “Greetings! Here’s where we all reside, Tove Jane McDowell.

‘Our boundless appreciation goes out to our remarkable surrogate, as well as everyone who aided us on this journey. Our affection for you reaches far beyond the stars and back again…’

Despite being flooded with well-wishes from her admirers, the actress has encountered criticism as well, due to her decision to become a mother through surrogacy, following in the footsteps of other high-profile Hollywood figures.

Some social media commentators criticized the actress and her partner for participating in a trend that some consider unethical, which, according to detractors, essentially means wealthy individuals paying for use of women’s bodies.

Some have evened likened it to ‘human trafficking.’

Some people theorized that Lily, like many high-profile celebrities, may have decided to forgo pregnancies in order to maintain her physical appearance.

In response to the critical comments regarding surrogacy and our way of having a child, McDowell, who is 41 years old, defended himself online by saying: ‘It’s understandable if you’re not well-informed about surrogacy.’

As a fervent admirer, let me express that it’s perfectly fine if the reasons behind someone’s choice to use a surrogate to start a family remain a mystery to us. It’s also okay not to understand the motivations driving a surrogate, as our assumptions may not align with their true intentions.

Instead of adding more negative speech, it’s great to reduce that and instead focus on the positivity surrounding a lovely little girl who brings so much love. For now, I must attend to her needs as she has just soiled her diaper.
