Amanda du-Pont celebrates a major family milestone as her father marked his 70th birthday.

The actress and TV personality shared a series of heartfelt photos showing her dad being honoured with a birthday cake and surrounded by close family and long-time staff members.

The intimate moments reflected a quiet and meaningful celebration rather than an extravagant affair.

In her touching caption, Amanda paid tribute to her father’s character and influence in her life.

“Happy 70th birthday to my first love and father 🤍 love you dad! Alpha and leader, a trait I’m very proud to have inherited,” she wrote.

She went on to express gratitude for his health and presence, adding, “We are very blessed to have a father who’s alive, healthy and present! May God grant you many healthy years and enlarge your wealth!”

Amanda also revealed that her father had asked for a low-key celebration.

According to her, he requested “no frills, just lunch with his girls and staff who’ve stood by the business in good and bad times.”

She described him as “a simple man who enjoys working and treasures his family.”

Fans flooded the comment section with birthday wishes and praise, commending the strong family values on display and the close bond Amanda shares with her father.
