Seal is one proud dad.

In a new upload shared to his Instagram page over the weekend, the British singer-songwriter praised his eldest daughter for her impact on his life, also including an up-to-date photo of himself with the 19-year-old, Leni Klum.

The Sept. 3 post showed Seal posing gleefully next to Leni on the streets of New York City, wearing a business casual blazer and button-up with a unique pair of denim shorts. Leni also looked chic but comfortable, rocking baggy cargo pants, an oversized tee, sunglasses and a mini purse.

"In NY with the young woman who changed my life for the better 19yrs ago," he gushed in the caption. "Thank you Leni for making me a better person 🥹🥹🥹Love you," he continued, before signing off, "-papa."

Leni, touched by the heartfelt shoutout, replied back in the comments, sweetly cheering, "so cute! i love you papa ❤️."

Others seemed just as touched by the sentiment, praising Seal and his relationship with Leni.

"Daddy and Daughter. Beautiful!!" one Instagram user cheered, before another added, "That's all a girl needs in life, a loving papa 🤗❣️."

A third commended the star for being such a dedicated father even while battling a type of lupus called discoid lupus erythematosus, writing, "Such a stand up guy. We see you, Seal. We know how hard you’ve worked and provided for your family in spite of a challenging health condition. You deserve a world of happiness.🍃🌸🍃."

Seal officially adopted Leni in 2009, four years after saying "I do" to her supermodel mom, Heidi Klum. The former couple, who married in 2005, and divorced just shy of a decade later in 2014, also share three other children: sons Henry, 17, and Johan, 16, and daughter Lou, 13.
