Kevin Hart revealed his emotional response to his eldest daughter, Heaven, departing for college by sharing a heartfelt moment on Instagram last Friday. The comedian, 44, currently using a wheelchair following an injury, posted a family photo before bidding farewell to the 18-year-old.

In the caption addressed to his 178 million followers, Hart affectionately wrote, “I’m not crying your crying…. So proud of my daughter….I can’t even say little girl anymore because you have blossomed into the most amazing young woman ever!!!!!” He expressed deep pride and love for Heaven, adding, “God knows I am beyond proud of you and that I love you with my all. Fly Heav Fly….The world is yours!!!!! My baby girl is off to college…. I cried in the car!!!! #Harts.”

In the image, Kevin is seated in a wheelchair, partially obscured, with his loved ones posing behind him. Heaven stood in the center, dressed in a gray top and denim pants, while her brothers, Hendrix, 15, and Kenzo, five, sat behind her. Kevin’s wife, Eniko Hart, also appeared in the photo wearing a gray Celine shirt and denim shorts.

The setting appeared to be inside a dormitory as Heaven prepared to move in officially. Kevin shares Heaven and Hendrix with his ex-wife, Torrei Hart, and has since remarried Eniko in 2016, welcoming Kenzo and their daughter, Kaori, two.

Earlier, Hart proudly celebrated Heaven’s high school graduation with a touching tribute and shared a father-daughter photo. Reflecting on her milestone, he emphasized her role as a big sister and the family’s admiration for her achievements.

Last February on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Hart expressed mixed emotions about Heaven growing up and preparing to leave home, joking about trying to sway her to choose a college closer to him in L.A., although she expressed interest in New York.

Kevin’s gesture towards Heaven’s college journey follows his recent injury during a race with former NFL player Stevan Ridley, which left him temporarily in a wheelchair. Despite the setback, Hart has maintained his humor and positivity, addressing his injury and recovery with characteristic wit.

As he continues to recover, Kevin Hart’s dedication to family and his resilient spirit remain evident, resonating with fans who admire both his comedic talents and his deep commitment to his loved ones.
