And then she later had a brief convo’ with Vanessa in the comments section underneath her post…
Needless to say, fans were surprised and one even mentioned the obvious- that Free at age 49 and Vanessa at age 53, are both aging beautifully- a compliment that didn’t go unnoticed by Free. She thanked the commenter and attributed their ageless beauty to the strong genes in their fam’…
By the way, in case you didn’t catch that caption Free included in her post about her cousin, Vanessa’s recent gig is on the long running soap opera, Days of Our Lives. It’s always a beautiful thing to see an entertainer from back in the day, still being able to feed their family by doing what they love. Free and Vanessa keep doing what you do…we love it!
