The beauty continued, ‘I like to watch his movies at night. For me, it brings me joy to talk about him and keep his spirit alive.’
Meadow has often shared additional tributes to her father, and sent birthday wishes to Paul earlier in September with other childhood pictures.

‘She takes good care of me,’ he emotionally explained. ‘She’s the first person on Father’s Day to wish me Happy Father’s Day. To see her with my children is one of the most beautiful things.’
‘There are moments when I see her playing with Pauline and it hits me so deep because I can only imagine what my brother is seeing when he sees that,’ the actor added.
Along with being Meadow’s godfather, Vin also walked her down the aisle when she tied the knot with Louis Thornton-Allan last year in 2021.
