Zendaya has said she “has so much to look forward to” as she celebrates turning 30.
The American actress marked the milestone on September 1, also sharing a throwback photo of herself on Instagram to mark the occasion.
The image showed her as a child sitting on the floor posing with her legs crossed while smiling for the camera.
She captioned the post: “I can’t thank ya’ll enough for making the last year of my twenties so beautiful, I have so much to be grateful for and so much to look forward to, with love as always… here’s to 30!!!!!”
Commenting on the post, singer and actress Chloe Bailey wrote: “Happy Birthday queen!! Love you sooo much!!!”
Actress Mia Goth said: “You are wonderful and deserve all the amazing things in life, happy birthday!”
Musician and actress Willow Smith also commented, writing: “Goddess.”
A few hours before Zendaya shared her post, the actress’s mother Claire Stoermer also posted a photo of her daughter as a youngster on Instagram.
It showed a young Zendaya wearing an aqua-blue floral dress, posing in front of a wooden playhouse.
Stoermer wrote: “Happy 30th birthday to the love and light of my life!! Even tho you’re not on socials anymore, and you won’t see this!! We just got off facetime!!”
Zendaya was born on September 1 1996, to Stoermer and Kazembe Ajamu Coleman.
Her parents, who were both teachers, divorced in 2016 after eight years of marriage.
Zendaya is their only child together, but she has five older half-siblings on her father’s side.
