Jeannie Mai is enjoying Thanksgiving with her little girl Monaco for the first time since her divorce from rapper Jeezy.

The TV personality, 44, shared an adorable Instagram video of her daughter Monaco, who turns 2 next month, helping her baste the Thanksgiving turkey ahead of their holiday meal.

The video starts out with the TV host and stylist wishing her daughter, who sat on a kitchen table in a black jumpsuit, a "Happy Thanksgiving," to which her daughter echoed to the camera, "Happy Thanksgiving."

The proud mom then turned to the turkey with a turkey baster at hand as she gave Monaco instructions on what to before handing her the tool. "Into the breast, go, go!," Mai encouraged her daughter as she lifted the turkey's skin and pointed to the area that needed to be basted.

"Right here. Good job! Good job," she said as Monaco squeezed the turkey baster in both of her hands, trying to point it in the direction her mother instructed her to do so. Mai eventually helped her at the end, helping to guide the the baster with her right hand while exclaiming, "Yay!"

"Monaco and I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃🤎," she captioned the short clip, also sharing a snap of the pair smiling at the table during Thanksgiving dinner.

Appearing on an episode of Sherri earlier this month, Mai expressed to Sherri Shepherd how essential her relationship with her toddler has been amid her divorce with Monaco's dad Jeezy.

“Monaco? That is my North Star. And I can definitely tell you that, I don't know if I would handle this the same way without her,” The Real alum said.

She continued, “Because today, I'm able to look at her and I can say what would I advise you? If you were in my shoes? And it changes everything. So I'm so thankful to be a mom and I'm thankful to have her.”

Shepherd added that she felt similar emotions toward her son, Jeffery, when going through her divorce with her ex-husband, Jeff Tarpley. “You go through stuff like this, and you look at your child and you go, ‘Thank you for this gift because I needed this gift right now.’ ”

Mai Jenkins and Jeezy welcomed Monaco in January 2022. Prior to the birth of their daughter, the former couple tied the knot in March 2021 at their home in Atlanta.

In September, Jeezy filed for divorce in Atlanta, Georgia, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE. The filing says the pair are "currently living in a bona fide state of separation," and that their marriage is "irretrievably broken" with "no hope for reconciliation."

The divorce document also states that Jeezy wants to share joint legal custody of Monaco. He's also a dad to two children from previous relationships.
