It’s always heartwarming when celebrities take a moment to honor those who’ve touched their lives in significant ways. Jennifer Lopez recently did just that, paying tribute to the late, great Robin Williams on the 10th anniversary of his passing. In a heartfelt Instagram post, J.Lo shared a nostalgic clip from their 1996 film Jack, which featured both of their incredible talents.

Let’s rewind for a moment: On Sunday, August 11, Jennifer, who’s now 55, posted a clip from the beloved movie Jack, where she starred alongside the legendary Robin Williams. In her caption, she wrote, “We all have a lot more in common than you think…Celebrating 28 years of this very special movie JACK with the incomparable Robin Williams 🙏🤍 Cinema Sunday.” It’s clear that this film holds a special place in her heart, and she wanted to share that with her fans.

Now, let’s talk about Robin Williams. The world lost this brilliant comedian and actor on August 11, 2014, when he tragically took his own life at the age of 63. It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since we last heard his infectious laugh or saw his unmatched talent on the big screen. His legacy lives on through his incredible body of work and the lives he touched.

A Family Remembers: Zak Williams Pays Tribute

Among those who paid tribute to the late Birdcage star was his eldest son, Zak Williams, whom he shared with his first wife, Valerie Velardi. Zak took to Instagram to share his own heartfelt message, writing, “Dad, it’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years. Today, I’m reflecting on the immense love you shared with all of us — your family, your friends, and everyone you met. You continue to inspire me every single day to do whatever I can to help create a more connected and loving world for our family. Love you forever.”

Zak isn’t the only one in the family who cherishes the memory of his father. Robin also welcomed children Zelda and Cody with his second wife, Marsha Garces. On July 21, Zak posted another tribute on what would have been his father’s 73rd birthday. He wrote, “Dad, on what would be your 73rd birthday, I remember you for all the hope and joy you brought to the world. There’s not a week that goes by without someone sharing with me how you helped them through a dark time or a rough patch. I’m so grateful and proud to be your son. Love you forever.”

Zelda Williams Reflects on Her Journey of Healing

Zelda Williams, Robin’s daughter, has also spoken openly about her journey through grief after losing her father. In a candid interview with People in May 2017, she shared how her close-knit group of friends and family helped her navigate the difficult times. She said, “I did have those friends who were lovely and I really appreciate when they were like, ‘Come on! Let’s go to Disneyland!’ and I was like, ‘No, not today. Having a panic attack today.’ But the ones who would show up and brought groceries, sat down with me and just wanted to be there, those people made a huge difference.”

Zelda emphasized the importance of having a support system that allowed her to open up about her feelings without bottling them inside. She added, “They helped enormously in making me open up to people so I didn’t keep it all in and kind of get to a place of going, ‘This will never not have happened.’ You have to move forward without trying to push it aside, ’cause that doesn’t help.”

Each year on the anniversary of her father’s passing, Zelda takes a break from social media. She explained in a post on X in 2020, “It’s hard for me on regular, good days to remain the person expected to graciously accept the world’s need to share their memories of him and express their condolences for his loss. As I’ve said in the past, while I am constantly touched by all your boundless continued love for him, some days it can feel a bit like being seen as a roadside memorial — a place, not a person — where people drive past and leave their sentiments to then go about their days comforted their love for him was witnessed.”
