She shared the photos to her Instagram with the caption reading, 'To those that made me a mother ( Henry) and those that celebrate the fact that I am one ( Henry+ Addison) I salute you with all the L♥️O♥️V♥️E and even though I'm working today, Sunday ( 😱) you made yesterday the greatest day with cakes and flowers and cards and best of all : laying around with the dog, chatting. #mothersday #mother #love'
We start with a bunch of photos of the mother-son duo today, followed by throwback pics of them when he was a baby! Along with the serious cuteness overload, we noticed how alike they look!
No, seriously, Henry definitely got his mom's iconic brunette curls! How precious!
Fun fact: curly hair is a dominant gene, per Healthline, so Henry was destined to get his mother's mane; and this isn't the first time Henry's hair has been mentioned. Back in Oct 2021, Driver shared a photo of herself and her son with the caption reading, 'Mostly, I used to see my hair as a hat, then I saw it on my son and it became a crown. I am grateful for the evolution of a difficult idea. #sunday in the park with Henry.'
Now, for those who don't know, she and her ex, television writer and producer Timothy J. Lea, welcomed a son named Henry in 2008.
They kept their relationship quite private, she did talk about it to The Guardian in 2012.
'We weren't together and he wasn't directly in the business, so I chose to protect him and not have a rain of publicity,' she said. 'He's figuring it out,' she said at the time. 'I mean, he hasn't been that involved — his choice. But he is now.'Best of SheKnows

Paulo Costa wants to hurt 'coward' Khamzat Chimaev for sending girlfriend 'nasty' DMs
Things are getting personal between Paulo Costa and Khamzat Chimaev. NEW ORLEANS – Things between Paulo Costa and Khamzat Chimaev seem to be getting worse. The two UFC middleweights have been feuding for many years, taking shots at each other online, but it looks like things have now escalated. According to Costa (14-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC), things have now taken a personal turn, as Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) allegedly slid into Costa's girlfriend's direct messages on Instagram to talk bad about the Brazilian. This was a step too far for Costa, and he now wants to fight Chimaev more than anyone in the UFC. "I want to fight him very badly," Costa said at the UFC 318 media day. "I want to hurt him. It doesn't matter if he won the fight or not; it doesn't matter. We need to fight. He talked very bad things about me to my girl on Instagram DM's. This is totally personal. I feel angry just to hear his name, so we need to fight. ... I'm going to do my best Saturday, if God gives me the victory because he controls everything, but I'm pretty sure I'll get the victory and I'll call his name. It doesn't matter if he wins or not. This fight will only not happen if he retires." Costa returns to the cage this Saturday against Roman Kopylov (14-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in the co-main event of UFC 318 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+), which takes place Saturday at Smoothie King Center. He plans on calling out Chimaev, should he get his hand raised. Chimaev is currently scheduled to challenge UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis next month in the main event of UFC 319. "Borrachinha" didn't reveal the exact content of the messages Chimaev sent to his girlfriend, but he did give a hint of the sentiment. "Dirty things," Costa said. "Like, 'You should look for a better man.' Something like that, you know. Dirty things, dirty things. These are not things a real man, a confident man, ought to do. Why he messaged her? Why he didn't message me? Coward. He is a coward." Costa can't say Chimaev won't be champion, but he's also not too sure he can overwhelm Du Plessis the way Chimaev has with previous opponents. "It's hard to predict something, but I feel Dricus is more solid," Costa said. "He can resist the very first rush from Chimaev, and then we never know after the third round how Chimaev can maintain his energy after the third round, so I think this is my question."

AP Advertisement And her first day back on the app was when Kiffin took his opportunity to strike. '#ComeToTheSip,' Kiffin replied to her post of some of her best catfish catches of the past year. Barron hails from Alabama, and Kiffin's post was his best attempt at getting her to 'come to Mississippi,' using the Rebels' catchphrase often used for recruiting players: 'Come to the 'Sip.'
