Actress Viola Davis is joined by her husband Julius Tennon and their daughter Genesis Tennon during an unveiling ceremony honoring Davis with the 2,596th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles on January 5, 2017. They posed for epic family photos at the special event.

Although Viola is best known as an actress, she is also a doting mother to Genesis, whom she adopted in 2011. Since the adoption, the talented star has made sure to take the time to keep her bond with her little girl strong. From spending time for cozy moments at home, to bringing her to red carpet events, Viola isn’t shy about showing off her little beauty.

In an interview with ‘InStyle’ in 2017, Viola explained how she talks about Genesis’ adoption to her. ‘I always tell Genesis she was born from my heart, not my belly,’ she said. ‘There are so many ways to mother rather than to carry a child in your body. So many children need parents, and so many of us want to mother. Know that you will experience motherhood to the full extent.’
