Milla Jovovich marked a special milestone on April 1, 2026, celebrating her middle daughter, Dashiel Edan’s 11th birthday with an emotional message.
The actress, 50, described her daughter as “the biggest heart in our family,” sharing photos and personal reflections that highlighted Dash’s warm personality and her role as the family’s emotional center.
“We are so lucky to have your laughter, your hugs, your smiles, your beautiful spirit that sees the best in everyone and always fights to find even the smallest trace of light,” Jovovich wrote.
“And you ARE that light, so it’s there, no matter what anyone says otherwise.” She also called Dash “the center of all our lives” and “the one who holds us all so tightly,” thanking her for “the love and care you share to anyone who you can see needs it. We cherish you. We love you,” she added.
For the celebration, Jovovich hand-crafted a Twilight-themed birthday card featuring a cutout of Dash with long, sparkly black-and-blue hair, surrounded by moons, werewolves, and the saga’s iconic characters Edward Cullen and Jacob Black. The card read: “Happy 11th B-Day Dash!!”

Dash’s love for fantasy and horror seems to echo her mother’s own interests. In 2022, Jovovich shared a sweet memory of dressing up with Dash as zombies for Halloween, complete with dramatic makeup.

She debuted at 9 in ‘Resident Evil: The Final Chapter,’ directed by her father, and has since appeared as young Natasha Romanoff in ‘Black Widow’ (2021) and as Wendy Darling in Disney’s ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ (2023).
At 18, Ever has become a recognized fashion icon, serving as an ambassador for Dior and appearing in campaigns for Miu Miu, Céline, and Marc Jacobs’ Daisy Wild perfume. She also speaks English, Russian, and French fluently, and practices taekwondo.

Jovovich and Anderson first met on the set of ‘Resident Evil’ in 2002, with Jovovich starring as Alice and Anderson directing several of the franchise films.

Dash, though still young, is already a beloved presence on her mother’s social media and often accompanies the family to industry events and red carpets. Jovovich’s post offered fans a glimpse into the close-knit family’s life, as well as the love and admiration she has for her middle child.
