KENAN & KEL star Kel Mitchell celebrated his daughter’s birthday with a special moment: her baptism.
Mitchell, a youth pastor at his church, got to baptize her.
“Baptized in Christ 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Wizzy did something I am beyond proud of,” Mitchell’s wife, Asia Lee-Mitchell, shared on Instagram. “She gave her life to Christ and asked to be Baptized for her Birthday! What!! 🥹 I am soo blessed to be her mommy 🙏🏽 Thank you Jesus that she is in your Family forever ♾️ and Youth Pastor Dad @iamkelmitchell got to assist our Head Pastor, Pastor Zeigler in her Baptism.”
“Such a blessed 8th Birthday Weekend for Wizzy. She was nervous but fought through her fear and is excited to tell the World 🌎 she is God’s very own 💕,” Asia Lee added. “Thank you to our church home @myspiritfood for making her feel free to learn, love and express her faith in Jesus 🙏🏽 I pray she never forgets this day.”
Mitchell celebrated his daughter in a separate post, writing, “This weekend you gave me the greatest gift — I watched you get baptized and I cried tears of joy. 🙏🏾💧A moment I’ll never forget.”
The Mitchells celebrated Wisdom with “mini golf ⛳️, Smurfs movie 💙, pancakes 🥞, hugs, laughs, and love all around.”
Like all parents, the Nickelodeon star can’t believe how fast time “is flying.”
“I still remember the day you were born in 2017 — me rushing through traffic like a scene out of a movie just to see your face!” he wrote.
“Wisdom, you are smart, strong, silly, kind, and beautifully YOU. Daddy loves you so much! 💕👑 Keep shining, baby girl,” he concluded.
Mitchell calls fatherhood “awesome.”
“I love doing it,” he told the National News Desk at the Kids’ Choice Awards last month. “Kids have so much honesty. And I love the fact that they love what I do and they’re excited about it and that makes me happy. Seeing them smile at me doing family entertainment and I can take them to family entertainment, I love that.”
He shares Wisdom and Honor, 4, with Asia Lee. He’s also dad to Allure, 23, and Lyric, 26, who he shares with ex-wife Tyisha Hampton.
Honor and Wisdom cameoed in their dad’s GOOD BURGER sequel, GOOD BURGER 2.
“Well, you know what? It was for fun because they just enjoyed it and wowed the producers. You know what I mean?” Mitchell revealed. “So it was for fun, but if they want to continue to do it, I’ll support them, but they got to want to do it.”
It’s wonderful to see how Mitchell encourages his children in both their faith and other interests they have.
