Sharon Stone shared a rare photo on Instagram of her three children: Roan Joseph, 24, Laird Vonne, 19, and Quinn Kelly, 17.
The 66-year-old movie star adopted her eldest son in 2000 with her second ex-husband, investigative journalist Phil Bronstein.
In the years after Sharon and Phil’s divorce, she adopted her two more children, bringing Laird home in 2005 and Quinn a year later.
Their latest touching social media upload showed their children wrapped in a family hug, with Sharon seemingly behind the camera.
‘My boyzzz,’ he wrote in the caption to his four million Instagram followers, many of whom left grateful reactions in their comments.

In her powerful memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, Sharon revealed the tumultuous path she took to becoming a mother of three.
Raised in “near poverty in Pennsylvania Amish country,” she became pregnant at age 18 by her “first serious boyfriend” and secretly underwent an abortion.
She was too young to legally undergo the procedure in Pennsylvania, so her boyfriend took her to Ohio to terminate the pregnancy.
After becoming a star, her attempts to start a family resulted in a series of broken engagements and two failed marriages.
During her marriage to Phil Bronstein, she tried to conceive naturally, but struggled due to an autoimmune disease and endometriosis.
She devastatingly revealed on Instagram a couple of years ago that throughout her life, she “lost nine children to miscarriage.”
Sharon and Phil adopted Roan in 2000, but after the marriage broke down in 2004, the couple embarked on a grueling custody battle that lasted 14 years.
Phil was granted primary custody in 2008 and it was decided that Roan would stay with him in San Francisco, leaving Sharon in pieces.

“After I lost primary custody of Roan, I couldn’t function,” he wrote in his memoirs. ‘I just lay down on the couch. I was so fucking tired. I would cry. I couldn’t focus on anything but having my son in my arms again. Nothing else mattered, just getting it back.
Although she ultimately signed a confidentiality agreement regarding the custody battle, Sharon claimed last year that her turn on Basic Instinct was “weaponized” against her in court as she attempted to retain her rights to Roan.
Basic Instinct includes a famous scene in which Sharon changes the position of her crossed legs, revealing to the audience that she is not wearing underwear.
Appearing on the Table For Two podcast, Sharon alleged that the judge in the custody battle asked Roan, ‘Do you know that your mother makes sex movies?’
She has had multiple relationships since her divorce, but never remarried and adopted her two youngest children independently.
