Alicia Silverstone Celebrates Son Bear’s 13th Birthday

Alicia Silverstone is now the mom of a teenager — as if!

The Clueless star, 47, celebrated her son Bear’s 13th birthday by sharing a series of photos of the newly minted teen through the years on Instagram on Sunday, May 5.

“It’s official, my baby is now a teen! 😭🥰😍😳😁,” the Baby-Sitters Club alum captioned the carousel.

The mother-son duo posed together in some photos while Bear was alone in others. In the first image in the set, Silverstone held a young Bear in her arms while wearing a yellow, black and white plaid shirt reminiscent of her famous character Cher Horowitz from 1995’s Clueless. Her son sported a suit and tie.

The youngster stuck out his tongue as his mom hugged him in another photo, and the pair flashed smiles as they posed for a selfie on the beach a few years later. In the final photo in the carousel, a seemingly exasperated Bear threw his head back as his mom tried to pose with him inside of what appeared to be a helicopter.

Silverstone welcomed Bear with her ex-husband Christopher Jarecki in 2011.

The actress has a unique parenting style, and revealed on The Ellen Fisher Podcast in 2022 that she and her then 11-year-old son still slept in the same bed.

“Bear and I still sleep together,” she said at the time, adding that she was “following nature” with the co-sleeping method.

“If you were in any kind of wild setting where there are animals … if you put your baby over there, your baby is going to get eaten,” she explained.

In April, Silverstone shared photos on Instagram from her vacation with Bear to Costa Rica.

“Soaked during our adventures exploring Arenal! From head to toe! 🌧️ ,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “We swam, laughed and had so much fun. One of my favorite moments of our trip so far!”
