Celebrity couple Chesca and Doug Kramer were all praises for firstborn Kendra in the heartfelt messages they wrote for their daughter who turned 14 on Sunday.
In her Instagram post, Chesca said that she’s grateful to the Lord for blessing her “with such a loving daughter,” and told Kendra, “You’re a gift to your family, and you’re Mama and Papa’s pride and joy. [heart emoji]”
While the “Gimik” alum also wrote, “I love you more than you’ll ever know, more than I can ever say and more than I can ever show,” she gave her followers a glimpse of their loving relationship with a video compilation of their bonding moments through the years.
For Kendra’s 14th birthday, the former “Us Girls” host wished for her daughter to grow her relationship with Christ. “[A]s obedient as you are to your parents, may your obedience to the Lord come first above all else. [heart emoji],” the proud mother reminded Kendra.

Former PBA player Doug was also sentimental in his birthday message to their eldest, sharing how “[a]ll the memories are still so fresh, seeing your tiny hand on the palm of my hand when you were born. Witnessing you grow up so beautifully inside and out.” He also took everyone on a trip down memory lane with clips of little Kendra.
He shared how taking a bit of time to talk to Kendra will have people see “how radiant, intelligent, loving, funny, respectful and charming” their daughter is.
“14 beautiful years have passed, but no matter, you’ll always be Daddy’s little girl forever! I love you my Kennykins! [heart emoji],” Doug concluded his birthday message.
The birthday girl would later share a throwback video on Instagram in which Doug asked a younger Kendra to recall his rules about boys, to which Kendra — who looked like she was in her toddler years — responded, “No kissing boys, only papa.” The other rule was “No boys, only papa.”
She captioned her post, “My dad keeps reminding me on my birthday every year! [smiley face saluting emoji] [laughing-crying face emoji]” Doug, in the comments section, wrote, “I’m alwaysssss watching [two eyes emoji] [laughing-crying face emoji]”
Kendra, who recently finished middle school, has two siblings — sister Scarlett who is 11 years old, and brother Gavin who turned 10 earlier this year. EDV
