For Vin Diesel, being a father is the one title in his life that matters above all the rest.
The Fast & Furious star, 59, shared a rare snap with his daughter Pauline, 11, on Instagram. In the photo, Diesel, who’s also a father to son Vincent, 16, and Hania “Similce” Riley, 18, can be seen embracing his younger daughter in a hug.
“Riddick, Dom, Xander, Groot, Theo, Kaulder, Bloodshot… all parts of me. But the role that completes me… dad,” he captioned his post.
The doting dad welcomed his three children with his longtime partner Paloma Jiménez, whom he began dating in 2007.
“My pride in my kids is through the roof,” Diesel told PEOPLE in 2017. “Oh my God, I’m proud of them all the time.”
“The last time was when Pauline said, ‘Merry Christmas, everyone, from the Diesels,’ and she put it all together in one sentence,” he added. “It was a big moment.
Elsewhere in that interview, the actor admitted he easily gets teary-eyed when it comes to his children.
“My kids move me to tears all the time,” he shared. “My daughter Similce said to me a couple of weeks ago, ‘Daddy, I know what song should at every funeral.’ I said, ‘What is it?’ And she said, ‘See You Again.’ That was not fair.”

Diesel’s children also have the same admiration for him. During the 2017 interview, the Guardians of the Galaxy star recalled a moment where he was driving a golf cart with his kids in the back and suddenly had to pull over.
“They were watching the trailer. At the end of it, my son goes, ‘That’s going to be a giant hit,’ ” the actor recalled. “I stopped in the middle of traffic and had to kiss him on both cheeks. Just to let the universe know I had heard.”
