Proud Mom Moment
Soleil Moon Frye is celebrating her daughter’s latest achievement in dance. The actress and director took to Instagram to share her pride in her daughter Poet Sienna Rose, posting a sweet tribute to acknowledge her daughter’s accomplishment.
“So proud of my beautiful tiny dancer @poet_siennarose Congratulations baby girl! I love you forever and beyond ever,” Frye wrote in her Instagram caption, adding blue heart and teary-eyed emojis to express her emotion.
The image shows Poet in what appears to be dance attire, capturing what seems to be a significant milestone in her dancing journey. While specific details about the exact achievement weren’t shared, the pride in Frye’s message is unmistakable.
A Multifaceted Career
Soleil Moon Frye rose to fame as a child actress starring in the hit 1980s sitcom “Punky Brewster,” where she played the titular character. The show, which originally ran from 1984 to 1988, featured Frye as an abandoned child who is taken in by a grumpy old man. The series was later rebooted in 2021 with Frye reprising her role as an adult Punky.
Beyond her iconic role, Frye has maintained a steady career in entertainment, transitioning from child star to director and documentary filmmaker. Her work has expanded beyond acting to include directing, producing, and advocacy.
Recent Documentary Work
Frye has recently been in the spotlight for directing the documentary “The Carters: Hurts to Love You,” which chronicles the lives of Nick and Aaron Carter, focusing on their family dynamics, childhood stardom, and the struggles with mental health and addiction that ultimately led to Aaron Carter’s death in 2022.
The documentary, which began streaming on Paramount+ in April 2024, has been a significant project for Frye. According to her recent social media posts, she worked closely with Angel Charissma, Aaron Carter’s twin sister, to tell the Carter family’s story with sensitivity and a focus on mental health awareness.
In a recent Instagram post about the documentary, Frye wrote, “This has truly been one of the most beautiful experiences of my lifetime,” highlighting the personal significance of the project to her.
Family Life
While much of Frye’s recent public attention has focused on her documentary work, her Instagram post celebrating her daughter Poet shows that family remains central to her life.
Poet Sienna Rose is one of Frye’s four children from her marriage to producer Jason Goldberg, from whom she separated in 2020 after 22 years of marriage. The former couple also shares daughter Jagger Joseph Blue and sons Lyric Sonny Roads and Story.
Frye has often shared glimpses of her life as a mother on social media, balancing her professional work with her dedication to her children. This latest post celebrating Poet’s dancing accomplishment continues that tradition of publicly supporting her children’s endeavors.
Full-circle Journey
The contrast between Frye’s celebration of her daughter’s achievements and her recent documentary work about the Carter family creates an interesting parallel. Having experienced the spotlight from a young age herself, Frye has a unique perspective on childhood fame and its potential impacts.
While promoting “The Carters” documentary, Frye reflected on her own journey from child star to adult, as well as the challenges that can come with early fame. Her support of her daughter’s interests shows her commitment to nurturing her children’s talents while presumably applying the wisdom gained from her own experiences in the entertainment industry.
As Frye continues to balance her work as a filmmaker, actress, and mother, posts like this one celebrating her daughter remind fans of the personal side of the former child star who has successfully navigated the transition to adulthood in the entertainment industry.
