Aduba recently looked back on the mothers in her life in an Instagram post on Mother’s Day.

“Happy beautiful Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there,” she wrote. “I honor all of you. I was so blessed to have a great mother who I am truly grateful to have had, here, for so many remarkable years. I wish we could have had even more, seen even more together in the physical, but I know we are sharing and making so many new memories together in the spiritual. God Bless each of you who do this job, both the born unto you and the chosen. I hope you get a chance to enjoy your very special and deserved day. I love you so much, Mommy! Thanks for being such a great mother to me. Love, Your Zozo.”
