Laura Dern says she reached ‘the most amazing milestone’ while celebrating her daughter’s graduation

Laura Dern shared a post on her Instagram account on Monday commemorating her daughter Jaya’s high school graduation.

The 56-year-old actress shared several photos taken during the celebratory event and she made no secret of her pride in her youngest child’s achievement.

The performer, who recently locked lips with a much younger costar while filming a movie, was also joined by her former husband, Ben Harper, and her mother, Diane Ladd, at the function, which took place in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.

Dern also wrote a short message in the caption of her post to express her feelings about her daughter’s end of high school.

She started by writing that she had reached “the most amazing milestone to experience.” My baby graduated from high school.’

The Jurassic Park actress then sent a personal message to her daughter expressing her happiness at the achievement.

The artist wrote that she was “so proud of you and your incredible heart and voice.”

She also included a photo of her daughter addressing the crowd at the celebratory event.

Jaya also posed for a picture of herself holding a degree while posing next to her older brother, Ellery.

The actress and singer stayed close as they made their way to the main part of the ceremony as they prepared to receive their child on Sunday afternoon.

The artist, who recently wrote a book with her mother, paired a black turtleneck with a matching jacket and trousers during graduation.

Dern added several elements of shine to her look with a pink scarf, bright shoes and tinted sunglasses.

The Academy Award-winning artist’s bright blonde locks contrasted perfectly with the dark hue of her clothing.

Harper opted for a crisp white shirt paired with matching sneakers, as well as a beige cardigan and brown pants for the ceremony.

The Grammy Award-winning singer added some extra color to his look with a pink beanie.

Dern was also pictured with her mother helping her as they made their way through the crowd that had gathered for the event.

The 87-year-old actress wore several pieces of clothing to graduation.

The artist and the songwriter first met at one of his concerts that took place in 2000.

Harper was previously married to his first wife, Joanna, from 1997 to 2001, and they share a son and daughter named Charles and Harris.

The singer then welcomed Ellery, 21, in 2001, and Jaya, 18, arrived three years later.

The former couple finally got married in 2005 in Los Angeles and stayed together for five years before separating in 2010.

Though the couple briefly reconciled, they eventually parted ways for good and divorced in 2013.

Harper then married Jaclyn Matfus in 2015 and they welcomed their son Besso, aged five, in 2017.

Dern spoke about raising her kids during an interview with romperwhere she said she took parenthood every day.

‘Everything surprised me. I never felt rested enough at any stage,” she said.
