Since we first started getting to know Kehlani as an artist, she’s overcome so much, so we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate her 29th birthday today (April 24).

The beloved singer and songwriter is not only a proud mom now, she’s still chasing her dreams and dropping heat every chance she gets. We’ll never forget the message she sent herself on her special day a few years ago…

“water dominated earth baby taurus mama, life path 7 truth seeker, we made it to 25,” she started off, adding “you’re officially older than your dad who passed at 24.. so this one feels different, this year is personal. you experienced a lot of loss last year and kept on loving. you are kind, you are very resilient, you are warm when you’ve been given reason after reason to be cold. you’re a great mom, friend, lover. a great student, and great teacher. i’m so grateful we are still alive. not just alive but reeeeally living. thank you to those who love me so much.. thank you for lifting me up. another trip around the sun, a real quarterthanggggg.”

All facts. This year, she reposted some very sweet and special messages from her friends and family on her Instagram stories. Kehlani is looking hotter than ever with her new workout regiment, giving her rock solid abs, and an undeniable grown woman’s sex appeal.
