Tina O'Brien and Ryan Thomas felt emotional as their daughter Scarlett turned 13.
The former couple shared photos on their Instagrams as they celebrated Scarlett becoming a teen.
Coronation Street actress Tina, 38, shared a moving video on her social media featuring photos of her little girl growing up, from her baby scan onwards.
The montage featured the Sarah Barlow actress, from Rusholme, cradling her newborn daughter and Scarlett with her little brother Beau, seven, and with Tina's husband Adam Crofts.
It was Scarlett who introduced her soap star mum to her future husband when, as a toddler, she strolled up to Adam in a Starbucks and said 'hello man.'
Tina penned lovingly: "Oh my heart, how is my little girl 13! Happy Birthday my darling Scarlett."
And she added: "Right ok can time slow down now please?"
Over on his Instagram former Corrie star Ryan, 37, shared snaps from Scarlett's birthday celebrations with his family at Rosso restaurant.
Ryan, who played Jason Grimshaw in the soap, said: "Happy 13th Birthday to my baby girl."
And he added with a wailing-face emoji:"My daughter's a teenager."
They were joined by Ryan's fiancee Lucy Mecklenburgh and their baby boy Roman, who they welcomed last March, Ryan's brothers Adam and Scott and Adam's children Teddy and Elsie-Rose and the Thomas brothers' mum Gail.
One fan commented: "She's so beautiful. She is Tina's double. Happy 13th birthday Scarlett."
Last week the proud dad shared a photo of Scarlett out for dinner at Archie's burger bar for pre-birthday celebrations.
"Looks like her mummy here," said one follower.
Scarlett is following in her talented parents' footsteps and appears destined for a future on the stage.
Earlier this year Tina posted a video of Scarlett singing the Freya Ridings tearjerker Lost Without You,
Doting mum Tina shared the video with the words: "She’s going to probably kill me for posting this but I’m so proud of her and her beautiful voice.
"I could listen to her sing 24hrs a day."
Last year Scarlett wowed Ryan by belting out With You from Ghost The Musical for him on Father's Day.
In 2019 Tina told us that Scarlett was keen to work in musical theatre.
Tina told us: "From the age of three she started singing so she started singing before she showed any interest in acting.
"She used to say 'I don't really fancy the acting but I like the singing' and she used to sing Castle On A Cloud from Les Mis.
"A teacher sent me a video of her singing it and I thought 'oh my gosh she's actually really quite good.'
"She's got a lovely singing voice."
