Happy birthday to Van Vicker’s first daughter, J’dyl.

She turned 13 on Monday, and her actor dad took to his Instagram to celebrate her, by writing a beautiful tribute.

The father of three wrote:

“My 1st daughter turns 13 today. Now I accept that I am an ol’pop. Lol. You still bring me joy though your maturity is blended with annoyance. Hahhahah. I love you my J’dyl. The house is quiet sometimes whilst you are in school and I miss you but when you are on vacation suddenly it’s like we have 5 people visting; everywhere is full and noisy. That’s my cue J is truly home. Happy 1st teen bday. You will always be my cry baby (u will ‘hate’ when u u read this bit). Don’t worry your friends won’t see this?? #vanvicker #MySuccessStory #MyLife #mypeoples #suckerforkids”
