3rd Hour host Sheinelle Jones is a proud mom of three kids
Sheinelle Jones is a proud mom as her son Kayin turned 15, a moment she commemorated with an emotional post on Instagram.
The mom-of-three took to the photo-sharing app to celebrate the day with previously unseen photos of the mother-son duo together, with an especially adorable baby picture. In the snap, Sheinelle held her newborn baby, looking away from the camera as all her attention rested on him.
She then shared a selfie of them together in which the resemblance was undeniable as they smiled brightly. In a third photo, Sheinelle and Kayin smiled by the beach, as she held her son tightly. Sheinelle shared photos that showed her son’s growth up until his recent graduation, as he’s soon to start high school.
The veteran anchor captioned the photo: “15 years ago today … my heart expanded with so much love – I can’t even describe it.”
She added, in reference to the Celine Dion cover of “Beautiful Boy” which soundtracked the photo carousel: “I love you Kayin!!! I used to play this song when you were a baby…now – you’re heading to high school! Goodness time is flying … HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!”
Kayin will be starting high school soon, and Sheinelle took to Instagram in June to celebrate his graduation from eighth grade as she said: “I remember your first day of pre k like it was yesterday!”
“You were this giant light ready to soak up everything they could teach you,” she added. “All of these years later, your love for learning continues, but more importantly your love for people, and passion for squeezing the *most* out of your experiences – from music to sports.”
Sheinelle shared a photo of her son speaking at the podium, as if to show he’d played an extra special role in the ceremony. She said: “When you stepped up to the podium with that smile, my heart was filled with so much gratitude for the young man that you are, and the man you are becoming.”
Sheinelle shares three children with her husband Uche Ojeh: Kayin, and her twins Clara and Uche. While she tends to keep them out of the spotlight, she described parenting them when they were younger as “chaotic.”
“And I would be lying to you if I said that it wasn’t,” Sheinelle told People in 2017. “One four year old alone can be a tornado, so I have two of them. And then they have a big brother who is seven.”
