Kelly Rowland is celebrating her eldest son’s special day!
The 44-year-old singer posted a series of photos on Instagram of her sons Titan Jewel and Noah John, and husband Tim Weatherspoon, celebrating Titan’s 11th birthday at Disneyland.
“11.. How did we get here 😢. Happy birthday my love 🖤,” her caption wrote. “Thank you so much @disneyland @disneyparks for making my baby’s day so special.”
The Destiny’s Child star added a short clip of the family of four posing together at Disneyland. She also posted a snapshot of four-year-old Noah wearing a T-shirt with his brother on the back.

Roland also shared a video of Titan blowing out the candles on the Lakers’ birthday cake as his parents applaud and celebrate.
The proud mother has attached several photos of Titan over the years, including a sweet selfie with her mom. She attached two separate photos of Titan as a young child smiling broadly at the camera.

Rowland previously told PEOPLE shortly after Titan was born that “the most surprising thing about becoming a mom was realizing how much joy Titan brought her.”
“The first time he laughed, I cried,” she told PEOPLE in a March 2015 conversation. “It was the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard.”

In recent years, Roland has opened up about his parenting journey, telling Kindred By PARENTS that he wants his sons to be confident.
“I just want to get this right. I really want to be a part of putting really great young people out into the world. That’s been my only prayer,” she said in an October 2023 interview. “My only prayer was that there were really great young black men out there who were confident in themselves and didn’t need to be told who they were.”
“I really cared about that because the story is grim in its own way,” she added.

In 2024, she also reflected on how important it was for her to enjoy every moment with her sons, telling PEOPLE, “Let’s get into their interests and the things that bring them joy. Let’s rejoice with them about it.”
“I’m going to sit here and watch (Titan) play basketball and do things that he loves, because I want him to know that I’m watching, and that’s great,” she continued.
A few months later, she confessed that she sometimes supported the Titans so much that her husband told her he didn’t need to attend every game.
“I had to pull out of some matches,” Rowland said on The Jennifer Hudson Show in January. “I’m a healthy mom.”
