George Stephanopoulos is celebrating a major milestone in his family.

On Monday, May 26, the Good Morning America co-anchor, 64, shared several pictures on Instagram, recapping his 21-year-old daughter Elliott’s graduation day. In the post, the proud dad shared several photos posing with the graduate and his wife, Ali Wentworth. He also included a few solo shots of the recent Brown University graduate.

“We have a college graduate!!!” he wrote in his caption. “Congratulations to Elliott, and to the entire class of 2025. We love you and are so proud of you, E!”

In the comments, the 21-year-old expressed her love for her dad’s support, writing, “Love you daddy.”

The Parent Test actress, 60, also uploaded a tribute post to commemorate her daughter’s accomplishment.

“She did it! Happy graduation to an incredible human being who has her father’s brain and my legs. And if it was the other way around- she’d be screwed,” she wrote. “Proud parents! All our children deserve an education!”

In addition to their daughter Elliott, the couple is also parents to daughter Harper, 19. In April 2024, Wentworth spoke exclusively to PEOPLE while on the red carpet for the Colleagues 35th Annual Spring Luncheon and Fall 2024 Collection Fashion Show at the Beverly Wilshire.

While discussing the importance of helping children, she opened up about her own. The mom of two opened up about life with her husband as an empty nester.

“We were traumatized at first, and now it’s kind of fun,” Wentworth said of being an empty nester.

“We’re young and in love again,” she told PEOPLE. “We got married, I got pregnant after nine months. So we’ve never just been a married couple with no kids. So we’re loving it.”

Now that their not-so-little ones have gone off to college and started a new chapter in their lives, she and Stephanopoulos have discovered a newfound freedom.

“It’s more like, ‘Hey, we can watch anything we want on TV. We can have dinner whenever we want. We could walk around naked if we want to,’ ” Wentworth told PEOPLE. “It’s very liberating.”

The In Living Color alum previously opened up about becoming an empty nester after dropping Harper off at college last August.

“We dropped our baby off at college. Everyone is saying “she’s ready to launch”! But… I don’t think I’m ready!” Wentworth confessed in a heartfelt Instagram post. “I don’t want to stop making pasta with vodka sauce, picking up wet towels, cuddling up to her familiar scent.”
