Most people know Milla Jovovich, the infamous action star, model, director, producer, and Ukrainian beauty. She is known for her roles in Return to the Blue Lagoon, Dazed and Confused, The Fifth Element, and the ever-popular Resident Evil movie series.

Few people were aware of her young teenage daughter Ever Gabo Anderson, who is making quick strides to follow her mom’s giant footsteps.

Milla and Ever appeared together at the amFAR gala in West Hollywood. The teenager seems to be actively seeking roles similar to those of her mother, as she has an impressive list of action roles considering her young years.

After playing a role in Resident Evil alongside her mother and appearing in Black Widow, Ever’s breakout moment came with her portrayal of Wendy in the 2023 American fantasy adventure film Peter Pan & Wendy.

Milla Jovovich initially expressed fear about Ever joining the film industry, but she has since become one of her daughter’s biggest supporters.

The American actress and former fashion model has talked about how she fears that the industry is too tough for Ever but is also excited for her daughter to have found something she is so passionate about so early on. Ever has been involved in the acting industry since the age of 5.

It seems like the acting career was inevitable, considering that Milla brought Ever on to sets when she was younger. Like Milla, Ever has also delved into the world of fashion.

Having graced the covers of Vogue, Flaunt, Love, and ChaosSixtyNine magazines, as well as having had pictures taken by fashion icons like Karl Lagerfeld, Mikael Jansson, and Peter Lindbergh, it’s only a matter of time before Ever becomes an easily recognizable face in the Hollywood crowd.

The Anderson-Jovovich family is close-knit. Milla Jovovich is married to Paul W. S. Anderson, an English film director, producer, and screenwriter who worked on the Resident Evil project.

The couple has three children, with Ever being the oldest. She announced the arrival of the newest family member on Instagram.

That isn’t the only showcase of affection between family members on social media. Milla and Ever took to Instagram to demonstrate their closeness and similarity. Impersonating each other’s habits provided entertaining moments and highlighted how much they had in common. Their uncanny resemblance is undeniable.

Milla has often commented on how proud she is of Ever and her quick ascent in Hollywood. Not only is she incredibly excited to see her daughter make her dreams a reality, but she called Ever a natural in front of the camera and possesses incredible talent.

A loving nickname she calls her daughter to her irreverent love for Marvel movies and paying homage to Ever’s role in Black Widow is “Baby Widow.”

Fans of this mother-daughter duo were delighted when the pair modeled for the cover of Vogue Arabia last year. Not only have these two worked together (in more ways than one), but they also have protested together.

Last year in June Milla and Ever were both seen protesting on the Black Lives Matter movement, Milla expressed how important she found it that she emphasizes the ability to use your voice no matter how young or old you are.

Ever was born November 3, 2007, in Los Angeles, California. Her younger siblings are both boys and named Osian Lark Elliot Jovovich-Anderson and Dashiel Edan Anderson.

Ever has a new project she is working on, taking on the role of Harley in the upcoming film Helvellyn Edge.

We are eager to keep an eye out for the budding actress and model and look forward to watching her grow successful and see if she will reach the same heights as her mom did.

Having such prominent figures as parents, it’s hard to see why the Baby Widow shouldn’t!
