Heaven Hart just reached a major life milestone. On Friday, May 25, Kevin Hart’s oldest daughter, Heaven Hart, graduated from high school. The proud dad shared an Instagram post celebrating his daughter’s accomplishments, as well as thanking his niece, Sanny, for setting such a good example for her by becoming the first person in their family to go to college.
Kevin shared a series of photos from what appears to be Heaven’s graduation party to his grid. In the first photo, the dad and daughter pose together, while the second photo features the 18-year-old with her cousin Sanny, and the final pic is a snap of all four of the Hart siblings.
“It’s not about me….It has always been about them!!!!!!! I am so proud of my little girl,” the “Fatherhood” actor captioned his post. “I am just as proud of my niece sanny for being an amazing example for Heav….Sanny was the first in our family to go to college and graduate…Now My little girl is heading in that same direction….Iron Sharpens Iron….it always has and always will. We have to motivate each other and continue to make ourselves better….Dream big damn it!!!!!”
He went on to tell his daughter what an amazing big sister she is to Hendrix, Kenzo, and Kaori. “Heav you made me so proud yesterday ….Doo, Zo & Ori are all watching you,” Kevin continued. “You are the best big sister ever!!!!!! We all love you so much!!!!!!”
Kevin has plenty of reasons to be proud of his eldest child. Not only did she graduate from high school, she was also the salutatorian of her class. Heaven’s mom, Torrei Hart, shared a snippet of her daughter’s speech on her Instagram, where Heaven revealed she’s inherited her father’s gift for comedic timing. “Wow, alright,” she began. “It’s way more nerve-wracking being up here in person than when I was sitting over there. I mean, come on, guys.”
She then launched into her speech: “Hey guys, I’m Heaven. I’m pretty nervous. I’ve been nervous for a few weeks now, and because of my nerves, I asked both of my parents for advice on what I should say. My beautiful, amazing mother told me that I should speak from the heart, and then she also said I should say something crazy. Then I asked my dad, and you know what he said? He said I should say, ‘We did it b*tch…!'” Heaven began to shout before cutting herself off mid-word. “But I’m not going to say that!”
Kevin shares Heaven and his 15-year-old son Maddox with his first wife, Torrei. He’s also dad to 5-year-old Kenzo and 2-year-old Kaori with his wife Eniko Hart. Earlier this month, Kevin celebrated another one of Heaven’s milestones when he posed with her before she headed off to prom.
“I have no words . . . just pure joy,” Kevin wrote on Instagram. “My little girl looked unbelievable yesterday. Where does the time go.”
