Nothing warms a parent’s heart more than seeing their child grow into an independent being who has their own personality and can make their own little decisions. All this is most noticed when they reach certain milestones, like starting school.
Celebrity parents are no exception, many famous moms and dads have let us in on the joys and jitters of sending their little ones back to school. It’s a beautiful glimpse into their world, showing how universal the back-to-school experience truly is.
Mpho Popps
One of South Africa’s most cherished comedians, who is also a husband and a father, Mpho Popps, took to his socials to share the first ride of her daughter going to Grade 7. In the video, Mpho is driving, with his wife Latoya Modikoane sitting in the back seat, and his daughter Imani next to him. Due to Mpho’s comedic nature, he still managed to shift some of the internet users’ attention from the whole point of celebrating his daughter’s milestone and had them laughing at his hair, which was a result of his failed attempt to do Aaron Pierre’s haircut.
