Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and sweet mother, Toni Braxton, posted cute photos to celebrate her look-alike son, Diezel Ky Braxton-Lewis, who turned 14 yesterday, 30th of March.

To mark the handsome young man’s milestone, the proud mama, 49, also penned a heartwarming birthday message expressing her unending love for him.

”Wishing a very special Happy Birthday to my baby boy @diezel.braxton ! I’m so very proud of you and I love you more than you’ll ever know! ????❤️????????????☀️????”

Diezel was the singer’s second son with husband, Keri Lewis, with the couple welcoming another son, Denim Cole Braxton-Lewis two years prior.

It will be recalled that in 2014, the reality series “Braxton Family Values,” star opened up about an abortion she had in 2001 and how she once believed God had later punished her for it by giving her son, Diezel, autism (read here).

Interestingly, last year, the lucky mum said in an interview with Access Hollywood that Diezel had been cured of his autism, Dailymail reports.

”My youngest son, as everyone knows, my son Diezel suffers from – or I should say suffered from autism. I am one of the lucky parents,’ said Braxton. Early diagnosis changes everything. I will tell you this. I will shout it from the rooftops. Our lives have changed.”

According to information gathered, Diezel was diagnosed as autistic when he was just three. Braxton said that Suzanne Wright, the co-founder of an Autism foundation, gave her tips and suggested programs that she should get Diezel enrolled that might be able to help.

Ten years after he was first diagnosed, Braxton describes her son as a ‘social butterfly’ and her family as ‘very, very fortunate.’
