Kimora Lee Simmons has entered her 50s.

The model, entrepreneur, and mom of five rang in her milestone birthday with a sweet tribute from her daughter Ming Lee Simmons.

Taking to Instagram, Ming shared a nostalgic video from her childhood where Kimora can be seen picking up her daughter and breaking into a smile as little Ming leaned in for a hug.

Ming, now 25, wrote in her caption, "Wishing a very special birthday to a very special mommy."

In the comments, Kimora replied, "Thank you! I love you so much!"

Kimora's daughter Aoki Lee Simmons, 22, also gave her mom a shoutout, resharing a clip via Instagram Stories of her mother walking down a runway while holding her then-toddler-aged daughters' hands.

"Happy Birthday! I love you so much, Mommy!" wrote Aoki, whom Kimora shares with ex Russell Simmons. Ming is the eldest of the daughters.

Kimora is also a mom to son Kenzo with ex Djimon Hounsou and son Wolfe with Tim Leissner, plus son Gary, whom she welcomed by adoption when he was 10 years old.

Russell, 67, shared a birthday tribute for Kimora on Sunday, posting a slideshow of family photos from over the years.

In a lengthy caption, he shared his hopes for Kimora's future. "kimoraleesimmons I hope you see this Let me share a prayer on your 50 birthday Im praying for your peace and happiness, also for the resolution of all outstanding sources of pain and conflict I am a believer that hate hurts the hate," he wrote in part.

"I will love u until death for all you have given me Keep being the great example of motherhood that you always have been," he added, before joking about how "50 never looked so good."

"God blessed u with longevity (asian and black genes) and the ability to continue to evolve," Russell wrote.
