98-year-old Kentucky woman with over 230 great-great-grandchildren meets her great-great-great-grandchild for the first time in amazing photo with 6 generations in it

An incredibly heartwarming photo showing six generations of women from the same family has gone viral recently as it captured the attention of a large number of people.

At the top end of the age scale is 99-year-old MaeDell Taylor Hawkins who is holding her seven-month-old great-great-great-granddaughter Zhavia Whitaker in her arms while the rest of the women, including MaeDell’s daughter, Frances Snow, 77, granddaughter Gracie Snow Howell, great-granddaughter Jacqueline Ledford, 29, and great-great-granddaughter Jaisline Wilson, 19, are posing behind them. Today, MaeDell has more than 620 grandchildren from her own daughters and their children’s children.

“I know it’s rare for six generations … it’s even rarer for all of them to be the same gender,” MaeDell’s granddaughter Howell, 58, told Good Morning America. “We’re all girls — girl power, as well.”

When they snapped the photo and shared it on the social media, none of them knew it would attract that much attention.

“We just kind of planned a day, and we just all met and grandma knew we were coming,” Howell, who now lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, said.

MaeDell got married back in 1940 when she was just 16 years old. Her husband was 50-year-old rail worker Bill Taylor who at the time had 10 children and needed someone to take care of them while he was at work. MaeDell took the role of a mother and went on to have 13 children on her own.

The family lived a very simple life as they lacked electricity, running water, and a stove, among the rest.

Getting married young was normal back in the day. Speaking of it, Howell said, “Now we don’t. We have children later in our life, so families are not that big. Having six generations is very, very rare to start with.”

The Kentucky matriarch now boasts a whopping 623 descendants, according to a family chart shared by her daughter-in-law, Janice Taylor. They include 106 grandchildren, 222 great-grandchildren, 234 great-great-grandchildren and 37 great-great-great-grandchildren.

“If everything goes well, the baby’s doing well, Grandma’s doing well – we’re all going to meet back in June and get another picture,” the family shared.

While Bella may not possess the same level of fame as her parents, she is an integral and beloved part of the Cruise-Kidman family. She continues to forge her own path with grace and independence, following her own passions and maintaining a low-key profile.

Before we dive into the beautiful bond between Tom Cruise and Bella, let’s take a moment to revisit the love story that brought them into this world. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were Hollywood’s golden couple when they tied the knot in 1990. They first met on the set of the movie “Days of Thunder,” where Tom recognized Nicole’s immense talent and convinced the producers to cast her as his love interest.

Two years into their marriage, they joyfully adopted their daughter, Isabella Jane, followed by their son, Connor Antony, three years later. Tom Cruise was already a massive star, and their love story seemed like a match made in heaven for this A-list couple.

But Tom Cruise filed for divorce eleven years into their marriage, claiming irreconcilable differences. Their path to parenthood was not without heartache, as Nicole experienced an ectopic pregnancy soon after their wedding, which forced them to consider other options for starting a family.

Today, Connor Cruise and Isabella Cruise are prosperous adults who have mostly avoided the spotlight. Isabella, also known as Bella, has chosen to work as a hairdresser and artist. She and her British husband, Max Parker, currently reside in London. Even though Bella likes to live a low-key life, she occasionally posts glimpses of her creative pursuits on her Instagram page, which has amassed a substantial fan base of more than 50,000.

In 2020, Bella surprised her followers by sharing a rare selfie, wearing a black hat and playfully captioning it with the words, “All that glitters is gold… oh wait, it’s just another Instagram filter.” Another selfie featured Bella in the kitchen with her hand on her head, accompanied by the words, “the procrastination station.” These posts reflect her down-to-earth and relatable nature, endearing her to her fans.

It’s important to note that Bella embraces the beliefs of the Church of Scientology, just like her father and brother. In an interview with Who magazine, she expressed that her children have made their own decision to be Scientologists, highlighting their autonomy and individuality. Nicole Kidman, Bella’s mother, has also shown her love and respect for her children’s beliefs.

Speculation arose that Nicole and Tom’s different beliefs may have contributed to their divorce in 2001. Following the split, Bella and Connor chose to live with their father, although Nicole has expressed her desire for them to live with her and her husband, Keith Urban. However, she acknowledges and respects her children’s autonomy and decision.

Contrary to expectations, Bella has opted not to follow in her famous father’s footsteps and pursue an acting career. Instead, she has charted her own path, developing a passion for fashion akin to her stepmother, Katie Holmes. This led her to move to London to study at the Sassoon Academy, a prestigious cosmetology school, and she now works as a talented hairdresser.

Recently, Bella delighted her fans with another rarely seen selfie, showcasing her new hairstyle and striking new look. Some of her followers even noticed similarities between her and her father, such as the distinctive “dents in her nose” and “smile lines.” It’s fascinating to see the connection between father and daughter manifest in physical traits.

Bella and her brother, Connor, bring a breath of fresh air to the world of Hollywood children. They have remained grounded and down-to-earth, choosing to lead their lives outside of the spotlight. If you have friends or family who haven’t seen a recent picture of Bella, please share this heartwarming article with them.;
