Jenna Dewan is officially the mom of a teenager!
On Sunday, May 31, the actress, 45, shared a sweet tribute to her daughter Everly on Instagram, featuring new and throwback photos of the 13-year-old.
In the first photo, Everly and her mom pose on the beach together as the teenager stands narrowly above her mom. Dewan, who shares Everly with ex-husband Channing Tatum, also shared snaps on her Instagram Stories from Everly's 13th birthday celebration at the beach and her Dior-inspired cake.
"To my Evie…13 🤯 I keep staring at that number wondering how it’s possible," she began her lengthy caption. "It feels like yesterday I was rocking you to sleep, and somehow now I’m looking at this incredible young woman standing in front of me. What I love most about you isn’t what you’ve accomplished, how talented you are, or even how creative and brilliant you are…It’s who you are when no one is watching. Your beautiful heart ❤️."
"The way you care so deeply. The way you root for people…! (Me included😅) The empathetic way you notice the person sitting alone and needing some support, the animal that needs love, the friend who is having hard time. Your empathy is one of the greatest gifts🥹," she continued. "You have always been beautifully, wonderfully yourself. Your imagination, your humor, your unique magic forever."

The actress, who is also mom to Callum, 6, and daughter Rhiannon, 23 months, with her fiancé, actor Steve Kazee, 50, also tells her daughter she'll "never have to earn my love, "never have to be perfect," and "never have to be anyone other than exactly who you are."

"You are enough. You always have been. I am so proud of you!!!! not for what you do, but for who you are. Thank you for making me a mom. Thank you for finding me again in this life and bringing your light into this family. You are my soul. Thank you for being my bestie🥹," she concluded. "Happy Birthday my sweet girl!!!!! I love you more than i could ever express 🤍."

In April, Dewan spoke with PEOPLE about balancing her life as a mom with her TV fame.
“I’ve learned that when things go a little nuts, it’s all going to work out,” she shared. “At least I say that to myself over and over to put myself in a peaceful mindset.”
The mom of three and star of ABC’s hit police procedural The Rookie noted that her "No. 1 priority" is always her family.

One look at her Instagram, and that’s apparent: Dewan frequently shares snaps of her daughter Everly cheerleading or participating in Irish dance competitions. Other times, she’s posting her two youngest: son Callum is often scoring hoops on the basketball court, and Dewan said more clips of Rhiannon are coming.
"I am most definitely forcing her into ballet class because it’s so cute,” she shared. “Until she starts telling me what she likes, we’re going to do a little ballet.”
