Milla Jovovich Posts Archive Photos in Honor of Daughter Ever Anderson's Birthday

On November 3, Milla Jovovich and her husband Paul Anderson's eldest daughter, Ever, turned 17. In honor of the holiday, the 48-year-old actress shared archival family photos on Instagram* and dedicated a touching post to her daughter.

Milla posted photos of Ever at different ages, as well as with her younger sisters Dashiell, Oshin, and father Paul. In her post, Jovovich wrote that she learned a lot from her daughter and joked that she always knew Ever would be amazing because her mom is Milla Jovovich.

"I remember looking at my first newborn baby and thinking about what kind of teenager you would be. I couldn't even imagine how this tiny, adorable, screaming creature would grow up to be such a smart and thoughtful person! I watched you grow and figure out who you are and what you want. How you dealt with adversity. You inspired and taught me so much more than I could ever imagine! After all, I am a mom, you should learn from me! And yet, I learned so much from you. It was such an honor to raise you. What a privilege to share this life together. I love you more than I can describe, because my words are just a pale shadow of the feelings in my heart! Happy birthday! My heart of fire!" - wrote Milla.

Ever Anderson was born in Milla Jovovich's third marriage to director Paul Anderson. The couple married in 2009, after seven years of dating. In 2015, the couple had a daughter, Dashiell, and five years later, a daughter, Oshin. Jovovich was previously married to Sean Andrews and Luc Besson.

The actress's eldest daughter followed in her mother's footsteps and began her film career as a child. Ever has appeared in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, Black Widow, and Peter Pan and Wendy. Anderson is also known as a model: she became the face of Miu Miu and has appeared for Rodarte, H&M, and other brands.
