Allison Holker is celebrating a very special day!
On Sunday, Nov. 3, the professional dancer, 36, shared a sweet tribute to her youngest child, daughter Zaia, on Instagram in honor of her fifth birthday.
“It’s My babygirl ZAIAs BIRTHDAY today!” the proud mom captioned the post.
“She is 5 going on 20. I am so proud of how far she has come,” she continued. “My angel has a heart of gold and the scream of a lion 😂😂 and I am completely obsessed with her!”
Holker added, “Please wish her a happy birthday and another year full of love and light!”
The So You Think You Can Dance alum included four photos in her birthday post, the first of which shows Zaia running on a carpet in a house while wearing a blue and white striped dress.

In June, Holker opened up about how her kids have navigated the loss of their father in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE on the red carpet at the 2024 Critics Choice Real TV Awards.
“We always had a really close bond as a family,” Holker said at the time. “But there’s a new level of it now. There’s a new level of respect and patience and understanding. And the conversations I’m able to embrace and have with my children is like nothing I’ve ever seen from other families.”
She added that their newfound connection “came from something so sad and painful, but it’s only brought us together.”
