Billie Lourd is taking a trip down memory lane, sharing an iconic moment with her 3-year-old son, Kingston. On Monday, the 31-year-old Smart Book the star took to his Instagram Story to reveal that Kingston was engrossed in the classic 1952 film Singing in the Rain.
The significance of this moment is profound for Lourd, as the musical starred her grandmother, the legendary Debbie Reynolds. Reynolds, who captivated audiences with his talent and charm, died after suffering a stroke on December 28, 2016, aged 84.
In the Instagram post, Lourd shared a photo capturing the back of Kingston’s head as he sat mesmerized in front of the television, watching his great-grandmother wearing a pink flapper costume and singing.
However, Singing in the Rain isn’t the only cinematic treasure Lourd hopes to introduce her children to. Last year, at her late mother Carrie Fisher’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, Lourd expressed her desire to share the late actress’s iconic portrait of Princess Leia on Star Wars franchise with your children.
“I can’t wait to bring my kids here when they’re old enough to understand how cool it is,” Lourd shared at the ceremony, reflecting on Fisher’s lasting legacy. “I feel so lucky that even though they don’t know my mom, they will get to know a piece of her through Leia.”
Fisher, daughter of Reynolds, died on December 27, 2016, after suffering a cardiac arrest on a flight from London to Los Angeles. She was 60 years old.
Alongside Kingston, Lourd is also mom to 15-month-old daughter Jackson Joanne with her husband, Austen Rydell.
Reflecting on her journey of grief and motherhood, Lourd shared her feelings on Instagram, marking the sixth anniversary of Fisher’s passing. “It’s been 6 years since my Momby died,” she wrote. “And unlike most other years since she died, this year, these last two weeks have been some of the happiest of my life.”
Expressing the bittersweet reality of missing her mother’s presence, Lourd emphasized the importance of holding on to the magic of life and cherishing moments with her children. “That’s the thing about grief,” she said. “So all I can do is hold onto the magic a little tighter, hug my kids a little tighter. Tell them a story about her. Share her favorite things with them. Tell them how much she would have loved them.”
