Kairo Forbes is celebrating a special milestone as she turns 11 years old today, and the birthday wishes from her family have been nothing short of heartwarming.

DJ Zinhle marked her daughter’s birthday by sharing a collection of beautiful photos of the two of them together. Alongside the pictures, the award-winning DJ and businesswoman penned an emotional message reflecting on Kairo’s journey and the joy she has brought into her life over the years.

DJ Zinhle wrote, “Happy 11th birthday my love, my sweet baby Kairo.

Who would’ve thought that one day you would be the one making me laugh? Your sense of humor, your quick wit, and the joy you bring into every room are some of my favourite things about you.

Watching you grow has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. And while becoming a big sister wasn’t always easy at first, I couldn’t be prouder of the young girl you’re becoming. You’ve embraced the role with so much love, patience, and care, and seeing the bond you share with your little sister fills my heart every single day. Never stop being curious, kind, funny, and unapologetically yourself. The world is brighter because you’re in it, THE WORLD IS YOURS!

I love you more than words could ever express. Happy birthday, my beautiful girl. Keep laughing, keep dreaming, and keep shining.”

The touching tribute celebrated Kairo’s kind heart, sense of humour and the loving relationship she shares with her younger sister. DJ Zinhle also spoke about how proud she is to watch her daughter grow into a confident and caring young girl.

The birthday celebrations were made even more special as Kairo’s grandmother, Lynn Forbes, also shared a heartfelt tribute. Lynn posted a video montage featuring some of their happiest memories together, including moments of them dancing, travelling on flights and enjoying time together on the ice-skating rink.

Lynn Forbes wrote, “Happy 11th Birthday Sweetheart

Every flower blooms in its own time and each one is beautiful in its own way, just like you.

My wish for you is that you always have the courage to grow into exactly who God created you to be … kind, joyful, confident, and true to yourself.

Never feel the need to rush. Just keep growing, one beautiful day at a time.

I love you so much @kairo.forbes.”

Kairo also received a sweet birthday message from her stepfather, Murdah Bongz. He shared a touching video that captured Kairo’s journey from her younger years to the confident young girl she is today. The video also included precious moments of Kairo with her late father, AKA, making the tribute even more meaningful.

Murdah Bongz wrote, “You’re simply amazing, sweetest girl ever. Happy birthday Kairo Forbes.”
