Publish date: 0001-01-01

Alicia Silverstone marked her son Bear Blu Jarecki's birthday on Instagram, as he turned 13 years old on May 5.

Captioning her post, "It’s official, my baby is now a teen!" the Clueless star shared a beautiful series of photos of Bear over the years, including one of him in a suit, one of the two of them in matching PJs, and a selfie at the beach, among others.

Silverstone was anticipating Bear's 13th birthday, which felt like a big milestone for her. Last week, she wrote on Instagram, "My Bear is turning 13 years old on Sunday ... One minute they’re a little blueberry… and then they’re taller than you shooting hoops!"

Whether on Instagram or in interviews, Silverstone often talks about her life with Bear.

For example, the mother-and-son duo recently enjoyed what looks like a stunning adventure trip to Costa Rica, which the Reptile actress dutifully documented on social media.

Bear was born in 2011, the child of Silverstone and her ex-husband Christopher Jarecki, to whom she was married between 2005 and 2018.

Speaking to TODAY in 2020, the actress explained that he and Jarecki have found a harmonious way to coparent their kid.

"We ask Bear where he wants to be," she explained. "But then I started to wonder if that was too much pressure. So, I checked in with him and he said, 'I love that I get to decide.' We both have different perks!"

She added, "Bear and his daddy and I flow really well together."

Happy birthday, Bear!
