Undeniably proud of her mini-me, Marian expressed how sentimental the performance was for their family. "Firsts are always special, especially with Daddy, Mommy, and Sixto in the front row—eyes wide, ears tuned in, and hearts full. Witnessing it live is pure magic," she wrote in her post's caption.
