Before celebrating Bianka’s birthday, Vanessa enjoyed a vacation with her family over the summer. She shared pics of them in Croatia and in addition to Bianka, they included her other two daughters Natalia, 18, and Capri, 2. They appeared to have a great time together throughout the sun-filled days and even stopped in the fictional city “King’s Landing,” from the show Game of Thrones at one point.
When the family isn’t going on getaways, they are attending events as well. Vanessa and Natalia recently wowed at the Baby2Baby Gala in West Hollywood in Nov. They both wore pink outfits, including a feathered dress for Vanessa and a dress with a slit for Natalia, and posed for gorgeous pics at the event’s carpet. Capri and Bianka also joined them and were seen looking adorable in a video and pics Vanessa shared to Instagram.
