April 5th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I had never seen Jillian Melanie and Deven before
April 5th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Wow – what a gorgeous family!
April 5th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
WOW! The genes in that family are unbelievable. They are all gorgeous!
All the kids look more like their daddie’s though.
Is the boy really 15? He looks more like 10 or 11 to me!
Sarah’s note: Yes, he’ll be 15 this year. Born in 1993.

BOY oh Boy!!!! Grandma GAGA looks Ga-GA Gorgeous for her age 67!
April 5th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Wow Devon does not look like he is 15 but GaGa doesn’t look as old as she is either! What a great family picture!
April 5th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
At first glance I couldn’t tell who was the mother and who were the daughters. Great genes indeed!
April 5th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Lovely! Simply lovely! What a wonderful three generation photo!
April 5th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Beautiful family! I don’t think Devon looks 15 in this picture, though…
!
That’s ok…I’ve always been told I look very young for my age, Everyone thinks my best friend is my mom…she is only 2 yrs. older. My mom looks young, too…it will come in handy later in life
April 5th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
What a GORGEOUS family!!!
April 5th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Beautiful family. Does anyone know which one is Jillian and which is Melanie?
April 5th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
What a beautiful family!
April 5th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Devon is so good looking. The one right next to vanessa named jillian is pretty, and the oldest melanie looks the most like vanessa IMO. The youngest looks bigger than 7, and the grandma is pretty
April 5th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Such a beautiful family!
April 5th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
jillian is the one sitting next to vanessa…melanie is sitting at the end of the couch….wow but i cant believe mel looks so diffrent now then when i used to talk with her about 5yrs ago lol an sasha/devon is soo big!! but a beautiful family.
April 5th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Nothing wrong with looking young from time to time… Sometimes it comes in handy, then, if you’re going out to a club or something, sometimes it doesn’t…lmao.
But, that’s wonderful photo of her and her kids and her mother. Seems Sasha is the only one to inherit her mother’s eye color. All the girls are beautiful and Devon is quite handsome.
Oh, and yes, Vanessa looks ridiculously fabulous. She could pass for their sister instead of their mother.
April 5th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Actually, I think Melanie is the one sitting next to Vanessa and Jillian is at the end.
April 5th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Romie – the caption in white at the bottom of the picture tells you who is sitting where
April 5th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
FABULOUS GENES.
April 5th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Her children are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It’s been interesting to see all of them grow up. And they were all gorgeous kids as well. The oldest Melanie is sitting on the far right, followed by the next oldest Jillian sitting next to her mom, then of course Devon and Sasha on the floor. If people remember pics of her older 3 children when they were younger, Jillian was on the chubbier side, so she’s really grown into her looks and body and has grown into a beautiful young lady. Melanie was always on the slimmer side, and looks the same now as a young adult. Sorry, just a quick background for those who didn’t know which girl was older.
April 5th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
I used to take piano lessons from Mrs. Williams! I cannot believe that 30 years hasn’t changed her! She looks fantastic and Vanessa and her family are simply stunning! Vanessa’s brother, Christopher and I were in 7th grade together and somehow Devon reminds me a little of Chris (except for eye and hair color). Beautiful family and very down to earth. I am always happy to read news about them !
April 5th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
Gorgeous family!! Wow, what a great set of genes those kids inherited. Those girls are absolutely beautiful and her son is so handsome. As much as Vanessa has accomplished professionally, you can tell her greatest joy comes from being a mother.
April 5th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
One more thing Sarah, that issue of Ebony has a lot of celebrity moms with their kids. There’s a great shot of Karyn Parsons (Hilary on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) with her kids, Sheryl Lee Ralph and her kids, Jasmine Guy with her daughter, Nicey Nash and her kids and a new one of Salli Richardson and her daughter Parker. Great pics.
April 5th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Beautiful family!
April 5th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
What a beautiful photo! I think little Sasha looks just like Vanessa, while the other girls look like their father. Then again, Melanie looks a lot like a young version of GaGa. Just gorgeous all the way around!
April 6th, 2008 at 6:25 am
Devon looks short because he is sitting on the floor with his legs stretched out in front of him i think.
April 6th, 2008 at 7:37 am
It’s easy to see where Vanessa got her beauty from….and she passed it on.
April 6th, 2008 at 11:31 am
yep that is a beautiful picture of vanessa,gaga and the children.
Romie jillian is sitting next to vanessa melanie is right next to jillian.love vanessa im sooooooooooo getting this maginzine..such a beautiful family.
April 6th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Goodlooking bunch. Sasha is gorgeous as usual.
April 6th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Very beautiful family!!!
I can’t wait to buy the magazine.
April 6th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Wow! What a beautiful family. That is a stunning photo.
April 7th, 2008 at 9:12 am
stunning family!
April 8th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Actually, with all due respect, the caption is not correct. Jillian is the youngest of the Hervey sisters and is sitting on the end of the couch and Melanie Hervey is seated beside her mother, Vannessa. Sasha Fox and Devon Hervey (the youngest children) are seated on the floor. However, everyone is correct that they are a beautiful family!
April 9th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
The girls are 20 and 18. they’ll be 21 and 19 in june.
April 14th, 2008 at 12:47 am
I just wanted to correct you on this Grace, but the caption is correct, Jillian is next to her mother and Melanie is at the end.
Trust me, I know both of them personally (thought I’ve only met Mel twice) but I’ve known Jill long enough that she’d kill me if I didn’t recognize her.
Hope that helps!
