Carys Douglas is a high school graduate!

The 18-year-old daughter of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones was joined by both her parents and brother Dylan Douglas for a sweet family photo celebrating her milestone academic achievement.

Alongside a post featuring the family of four (and a silly snap of Dylan, 20, carrying his sister), Douglas, 76, wrote on Friday, "Congratulations to Carys and the entire class of 2021! Your Mom and I are so proud of you!"

"We love you so much and we are so excited for your future as the best is yet to come!" the Ant-Man actor continued, signing off his caption, "❤️ Dad."

Zeta-Jones, 51, shared a similar set of photos, along with the caption, "Carys!!! What a proud day as our daughter Carys graduates with honors for her International Baccalaureate! You rock and we love you. 👩‍🎓👩‍🎓👩‍🎓."

Carys turned 18 in April, receiving a sweet tribute from her famous mom in honor of the age-milestone occasion.

"Happy 18th Birthday Carys Zeta! You are everything, and everything is you," Zeta-Jones wrote in the caption. "Thank you for the joy you bring me. At 5 am this morning, you texted me to thank me, for giving birth to you. That's the kind of woman you are. Kind."

"Your wisdom out numbers your years," the proud mom continued. "Your beauty is deep and your heart is big enough to love and envelop the world, your sense of humor ... very important ... is insurmountable. I could go on."

Zeta-Jones cheekily added, "Your Japanese needs some work, but that's doable. I love you angel. Mama."

That same month, the Oscar-winning actress opened up on the 3rd hour of the Today show about how she believes her children could follow in their parents footsteps and take up acting themselves in the future.

"The journey I've had as an actor has been extraordinary. ... So I can only encourage them to do what they love. They're both extremely bright and they're both studying history and politics," Zeta-Jones said, joking, "And they get all their brains from me."

However, she also admitted that she and Douglas have suggested other career options to Dylan and Carys because of the pressures of stardom.

"Michael and I would be the first parents to say, 'You know, maybe you should think of another career,' but we've seen how passionate they are about the craft. They know what celebritydom is. They know the good, the bad, warts and all of that," Zeta-Jones said.
