For those unversed, Lily and Charlie McDowell welcomed their daughter, Tove Jane, via surrogate in January 2025.

“Tove is lucky to call you Grandpa P,” she gushed on Sunday. “Love you to the moon and back.”

Phil has a special bond with his daughter Lily. He even recorded track, You’ll Be in My Heart, from 2002’s Tarzan as a lullaby for Lily.

“[Lily] calls me up and goes, ‘It’s all over the radio,’” Phil told Entertainment Tonight at the time while speaking on the song’s initial popularity.

“[She adds], ‘I go to school and it’s all over the billboards.’ So, she’s really thrilled about it. When she went to the cinema with her mum, a trailer came up [and] she stood up and said, ‘That’s my dad!’” he added.

Later on Sunday, Lily also honored her husband, Charlie.

“My absolute favorite view. Happy Father’s Day @charliemcdowell,” she wrote on Instagram while sharing a photo of Charlie playing with his daughter. 

“Seeing lil T light up with you and experience the world by your side is the greatest gift. Tove and I couldn’t love you any more," she added.
