Fans Gush Over Martina McBride's Rare Photo With Teenage Daughter Ava
Martina McBride is celebrating her daughter Ava's birthday with a special tribute and a sweet set of photos.
The "This One's For The Girls" songstress shouted out her now-19-year-old in a note shared to her Instagram grid on Tuesday, June 25, which also included two pictures of the mother-daughter duo over the years.
In the first image, an artsy black and white throwback photo, the award-winning country star hugged her child-aged daughter from behind as Ava stared down the camera. The second upload was a more recent picture of the two as they appeared to enjoy some quality time together at a restaurant, with the birthday girl seated next to her mom and wrapping her arm around the 57-year-old's shoulders.
"This girl turned 19 a few days ago. My girl. I love you Ava," the doting mom began in the accompanying caption. "I love all the stuff we do together…all the kitchen hangs, the trips to the veggie stand, the talks, the laughs. How we are deeply connected in all the ways big and small."
"You are wonderfully made. ??," she concluded.
The comments soon became overrun with joy-filled birthday wishes from loyal listeners all over.
"Happy Birthday," one Instagram user shared with delight. "I do believe she is your mini-me."
"I remember when John announced your pregnancy on your website pre social media," another fan fondly recalled.
"Happy Birthday Ava!" a third rejoiced. "I remember watching you on the CMT awards when you were pregnant with Ava. That was special. All of your girls are gorgeous just like you. Much love ??."
In addition to Ava, the singer-songwriter also shares two older daughters–Emma, 26, and Delaney, 29–with her husband of 36 years, John McBride.
