Lily Collins recently shared a tender moment as a mother since welcoming daughter Tove Jane McDowell with husband Charlie McDowell.
Taking to Instagram Stories, the Emily in Paris star posted snaps of her 14-month-old daughter sitting in a high chair as Collins styled her hair into a small ponytail for the first time.
“This makes me melt,” the actress captioned the moment alongside another emotional post.
Tove was born via a surrogate mother on January 31, 2025. Since welcoming their daughter, the couple has occasionally shared insider insights into their journey to parenthood, but has mostly kept her life private.
The latest update comes after several family milestones, including their first Christmas together and Tove’s recent first birthday.
Collins has previously spoken about how motherhood has transformed her. “You have expanded my world, broadened my horizons and broadened my smile more than I thought possible,” Collins said on Mother’s Day, marking her first motherhood.
“And to think, this is just the beginning. I couldn’t be more grateful or honored to be your mother,” she continued in a social media post, referring to her daughter. The couple also publicly thanked their surrogate mother at Tove’s birth.
