The birth of this dad melted many hearts on Instagram with Cicilla II’s stirred birthday wishes. In honor of Solo-Dad-Who-Can-Be-So-ProUd, he posted a family photo, accompanied by the caption, “Happy Birthday to my first born girl! @_dominikgarcia_ ❤️.” Garcia appears gorgeous in a checkered jacket and stands next to his smiling daughter holding the baby, all decked in bright green; nature itself seemed to bless that gorgeous multigenerational outdoor moment.

The post received instant love from fans and some celebrities alike. Many pointed out the incredible resemblance of the father-daughter pair, with one user saying “The incredible resemblance of father and daughter” while another called Garcia “El abuelo más hot del mundo” (The hottest grandfather in the world). The comment section erupted like a virtual birthday party, with well-wishes pouring in from all around-the-globe-Russian, Italian, Spanish, and English.

Among many birthday wishes, one very touching message sent from a user named Dominik described a little history regarding himself and Garcia: “I am autist and a very big fan from you… I wrote you a letter by post but I didn’t get a reply yet… Please have a heart.” It was this heartfelt and honest comment that really revealed the real-life persecuting effect of Garcia onto his fans, no matter their type.

More nasty remarks followed. Another controversial one appeared, stirring the malicious class and stating, “All you old Italian guys having babies when you won’t be around to see them get married just to prove you’re still a man,” inciting immediate backlash from a throng of users who fiercely challenged the insult’s ignorant assumptions regarding Garcia’s Native American lineage or his family affairs. The speed of the defense exerted by fans showed just how fiercely they treasure shielding the dignified actor.

This birthday post did another round of family news with Licy chiming in on Broadway fame debut of her grandson: “First weekend down for Mamma Mia on Broadway, and proud parent alert! Huge congrats to our son Andy Garcia on an amazing show!” How cool to add yet another chapter to this family’s creative legacy being spread across generations?

Garcia, the best known for his turning-point performances in The Godfather Part III and Ocean’s Eleven, tends to stay rather discreet regarding his family life, thus making those rare glances into his actual personal world that much more special for his fans. The Cuban-American actor has since entered grandad territory yet will find some time to juggle both family and Hollywood after the two are perceived to be diametrically opposed.

With comments such as “Happy Blessed Birthday Beautiful. God Bless You and Your Family!” and “Happy Birthday Dom! You are such a ray of sunshine in our lives!”, it was clear that Andy’s Instagram had now become a virtual shoutout for family, legacy, and the simple joy of celebrating another year on this earth with one’s own truly meaningful. Could the best thing that Andy has done after almost half a century of being under the limelight perhaps be that of being a proud father and grandfather?
