Stacey Dooley celebrated her 38th birthday surrounded by love, marking the occasion with her partner, Kevin Clifton, and their two-year-old daughter, Minnie.
Taking to Instagram, the BBC documentary maker expressed her gratitude with a heartfelt caption: “THIRTY ATE. BLESSED with another year! Lucky, lucky, lucky me.”
In the accompanying photograph, Stacey lovingly cradled Minnie, planting a kiss on her daughter’s cheek. The mother-daughter duo’s strikingly similar fiery red hair was on full display, delighting fans.
Minnie looked adorable in a gingham-print dress paired with white woolen tights. Her vibrant auburn curls stole the spotlight as she twirled around in her mother’s arms, radiating youthful joy.
Fans Adore Minnie’s Striking Hair
Stacey’s followers eagerly commented on the sweet moment, with many praising Minnie’s luscious copper locks.
“Look at that beautiful hair!” one fan wrote, while another added, “Loving her gorgeous hair color.”
It’s not the first time Minnie’s radiant curls have caught attention. Stacey frequently shares glimpses of her daughter’s growth, often delighting followers with their stylish mother-daughter ensembles.
A New Perspective on Motherhood
Since welcoming Minnie on January 10, 2023, Stacey has spoken candidly about the joys and challenges of motherhood. In a recent interview with The Guardian, she reflected on the overwhelming early weeks of parenthood, particularly when Kevin had to return to work just two weeks after Minnie’s birth.
“I remember him leaving, shutting the front door, and thinking, ‘What the hell am I going to do now?’” she shared. “And I felt envious. He was going to be sleeping from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. I remember feeling jealous of that.”
As Minnie grows, Stacey beams with pride at her daughter’s blossoming confidence. Despite the demands of balancing documentary filmmaking with raising a child, she remains focused on her top priority: “Trying to be a really [expletive] good mum.” She acknowledges that while work remains important, “it’s work”—a sentiment many parents can relate to.
With each update, Stacey continues to inspire fans, offering a heartfelt glimpse into her journey as a mother while embracing the joy of raising her mini-me, Minnie.
