When Natalia got accepted to Loyola, Vanessa joked that she was "so glad" she got accepted, adding, "but too far... j/k."

Big things are ahead for Natalia. Just last month, the 18-year-old signed with IMG Models and is pursuing a modeling career.

Vanessa couldn't help but praise her daughter, sharing a stunning photo of Natalia all glammed up.

"Daddy would be so happy that you’re pursuing your modeling career now that you’re 18. You’re beautiful inside and out. Beautiful with makeup and without makeup. We love you," she captioned the photo.
