Marc Anthony is one proud papa.
On Thursday, the four-time Grammy Award winner watched with pride as his son Cristian, 23, officially graduated from Parsons School Of Design, which is a private art and design college in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City.
A video posted on Anthony’s Instagram page documented the moment he received his diploma, while decked out in a traditional cap and gown, as family looked on from the sidelines.
Cristian could be seen from the side just as he made the short walk up to the stage and to the podium to get the official document marking his accomplishments.
Once he received the diploma from a college official, Cristian turned around to show it to his family, including his father.

‘@cris_muniz_torres I love my kids to the moon and back,’ the singer and actor gushed in the caption of the post, before adding, ‘And we get to celebrate you today.’
Along with the short clip, Anthony (born Marco Antonio Muñiz), 54, also shared a photo of himself standing in between the new college graduate and his son Ryan, 19, along with his ex-wife Dayanara Torres, who’s the mother of both young men.
The former couple were married for about four years, beginning in 2000, which ended up in divorce in 2004.
There’s also a second photo of the four standing together that captured the moment the father of six pinched Cristian’s cheek, which elicited big beaming smiles from his son and ex-wife.
