Kevin Hart’s daughter Heaven recently reached a significant milestone, and her father is showing the world that he couldn’t be more proud.

The comedian wrote on Instagram, alongside a heartwarming photo of himself and Heaven, “It’s not about me. It has always been about them!!!! I am so proud of my little girl. I am just as proud of my niece, Sanny, for being an amazing example for Heav.” Hart continued, “Sanny was the first in our family to go to college and graduate. Now, my little girl is heading in the same direction.”

The actor also shared beautiful photos of his family celebrating Heaven’s graduation. In one picture, the 18-year-old posed with her cousin Sanny, while the last photo shows the Hart siblings smiling for their sister’s big day. The “Jumanji” star shares Heaven and 15-year-old Hendrix with his ex-wife Torrei Hart. He is also a dad to Kenzo, 5, and Kaori, 2, with wife Eniko Hart, whom he married in 2016.

Hart continued his loving tribute to Heaven by focusing on how her achievements inspire him and all of her younger siblings. “Iron sharpens iron. It always has and always will. We have to motivate each other and continue to make ourselves better. Dream big!!!!!,” he concluded. “Heav, you made me so proud yesterday. Doo, Zo & Ori are all watching you. You are the best big sister ever!!!!!! We all love you so much!!!!!! #Harts.”

Heaven’s graduation isn’t the only reason the proud father has gushed lately. He recently melted everyone’s hearts on Instagram after posting beautiful photos of Heaven before her high school prom, where she wore a green satin dress with gold heels.

Hart wrote in the caption, “I have no words, just pure joy. My little girl looked unbelievable yesterday. Where does the time go?” In February 2022, Hart dropped hints about where his daughter might attend college, telling Ellen DeGeneres that Heaven wanted to attend school out of state.

He joked at the time, “I’ve been trying to manipulate her like, ‘Maybe you need a place here in L.A. ’cause the schools here are just better. She’s talking about New York.” The Ride Along star added, “I love that she’s growing up; that’s my best friend, my heart. And it’s a little emotional. I see myself realizing that that time is coming for her to leave the house, and I don’t like it.”
