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