Jack White's Mini-Me Son Turns 18: A Day of Rockstar Reunions!
JACK WHITE CELEBRATES SON'S 18TH BIRTHDAY IN STYLE: SEE THE UNDENIABLE RESEMBLANCE!
In a heartwarming display of paternal pride, Jack White marked his son Henry's 18th birthday with a rare photo on social media. The musician, who turned the big 5-0 in July by finally joining the cell phone revolution (talk about being fashionably late!), couldn't contain his excitement as he shared a snap of himself and his spitting-image progeny.
The former White Stripes frontman posed with a guitar in his lap, exuding that signature laid-back vibe we've come to associate with him. His wavy black hair was styled to perfection, showcasing the very same signature waves that have become an iconic part of his look. Meanwhile, Henry, who looks uncannily like his dad, wore a black T-shirt and sported similar wavy locks.
'Want to wish a very Happy 18th birthday to my one and only son Henry Lee White!' Jack wrote in the caption, beaming with pride. 'Been proud of this young man since day one! Keep being you Hank,' he advised his beloved offspring, clearly doting on him like there's no tomorrow.
The Blue Orchid singer also took it upon himself to share a photo of Henry as a newborn, swaddled snugly in a blanket - and we can't help but feel a pang of nostalgia. Birthday greetings began pouring in from fans around the globe, all raving about the undeniable resemblance between father and son.
One fan couldn't resist referencing another famous musician whose son bore an uncanny resemblance to him: 'He looks more like George Harrison than I do” - George Harrison❤️,' they wrote. Other well-wishers included drummer Duru Jones, actress Beverly D'Angelo, and singer Olivia Dean, all of whom expressed their love and admiration for the talented young Henry.
But let's be real - what makes this birthday bash even more intriguing is the fact that Jack shares Henry and his model daughter Scarlett, 19, with his ex-wife Karen Elson, 46. The model and singer marked her son's special day by sharing some adorable flashback photos of their time together as a family.
'It sounds so cliché, but it’s true. It goes by in the blink of an eye,' she admitted, revealing the pain of watching her little one grow up too quickly. 'Happy 18th birthday Henry Lee. I’ll save the big emotional sentiments for real life but it’s a privilege to be your mother and we all love you dearly.'
As we celebrate this milestone birthday with Jack White's adorable family, it's hard not to wonder: what's next for Henry? Will he follow in his father's footsteps as a musician? Only time will tell - but one thing's for sure: with that kind of talent running through their veins, the future is looking bright indeed!
