In the first photo, we see Mai looking as stunning as can be while chilling on the sunset-clad beach, followed by a series of heartwarming mother-daughter pics. We start with a pic of Mai and Monaco looking out onto the ocean, followed by pics of them on that tire swing Mai mentioned in her last post, and the post that has warmed so many fans hearts: one where Monaco is bundled under a blanket, her snuggling up against Mai as they ride on the boat.

(We also see an excerpt from A Gentle Reminder by Bianca Sparacino, saying, “No one will ever fully be able to understand the internal battles you had to endure just to heal, just to grow, just to make it here today. Be proud of the way you fought to save yourself. Be proud of the way you survived.”)

Not only do we love seeing mama Mai thriving, but the pics of them cuddling on the boat are beyond sweet.

For those who don’t know, back in Jan. 2022, Mai and her ex-husband Jeezy welcomed their daughter Monaco Mai-Jenkins into the world.

Back in Dec 2022, she talked to PEOPLE about her love for with motherhood. “It is hard work, but I love every part of it. And it doesn’t feel like work. … Having Monaco made me feel like I’ve been born again. It sounds so overly spiritual and almost religious. But no, I just mean that, like, I see through different eyes.”

She added, “And the crazy thing is, my daughter gives me so much confidence. I like myself more as a mom. I like myself more getting up and taking care of somebody else and tending to her and watching her actually register things that we’ve worked so hard to teach her. I can’t believe, like, that’s such an accomplishment. I didn’t realize that.”
