Helena Christensen and Norman Reedus are toasting their son on his 24th birthday!

On Friday, the supermodel, 54, posted a touching message on Instagram in honor of her only son Mingus Lucien Reedus' special day, calling him "the biggest star in my life."

"Happy 24th to the biggest star in my life 🌟🎂💫😻," Christensen wrote. "You know how much I love you so will spare you all that jazz but I want you to know how much all your love and support this summer meant to abuelita and I. We couldn’t have done it without you."

In the post, Christensen shared several snapshots of Mingus throughout the years — from his youbg boyhood to a more recent shot of him walking down an empty street with a blazer on.

Several of Christensen's friends also celebrated Mingus in the comments section, including Naomi Campbell, Julianne Moore and Padma Lakshmi, who wrote, "Happy happy birthday to you both!"

It's been a big year for Mingus, who earned a degree from New York University back in May, when both parents joined forces to celebrate their new college graduate.

At the time, Christensen posted a selfie with Mingus and Norman as they posed for a family shot. The model also shared a clip of the father-son duo taken right after Mingus' commencement ceremony, showing Mingus in a purple and white graduation gown as he and his dad lifted their fists in celebration.

As of late, Mingus is following in his mom's modeling footsteps, having walked the Versace spring/summer 2023 menswear show in Milan and even having appeared in a Marcell Von Berlin campaign with Christensen last year.

For the campaign celebrating the brand's suits collection, the duo posed in the colorful pieces as they were photographed by Agata Serge in New York City.

"I really enjoyed working with Marcell and his brand. He is professional and very dedicated to his work, and it shows in his wonderful designs," Christensen said in a release. "It was very special for me to shoot this campaign alongside my son. We had a really fun day."
