Sharon Stone shared a rare Instagram picture of all three of her sons – Roan Joseph, 24, Laird Vonne, 19, and Quinn Kelly, 17.
The 66-year-old movie star adopted her eldest child in 2000 with her second ex-husband, investigative journalist Phil Bronstein.
In the years after Sharon and Phil divorced, she adopted her two more boys, bringing Laird home in 2005 and Quinn a year later.
Her latest heartwarming social media upload showed her sons wrapped in a family group hug, with Sharon apparently behind the camera.
‘My boyzzz,’ wrote in the caption for her four million Instagram followers, many of whom left appreciative reactions in her comments.

In her bombshell tell-all memoir The Beauty Of Living Twice, Sharon bared the tumultuous path she took to becoming a mother of three.
Raised in ‘near poverty in Pennsylvania’s Amish country,’ she got pregnant aged 18 by her ‘her first serious boyfriend’ and secretly had an abortion.
She was too young to legally undergo the procedure in Pennsylvania, so her boyfriend drove her to Ohio to terminate the pregnancy.
After she became a star, her attempts to build a family resulted in a brace of ruptured engagements as well as two failed marriages.
During her marriage to Phil Bronstein, she attempted to conceive naturally, but struggled because of an autoimmune disease and endometriosis.
She shatteringly revealed on Instagram a couple of years ago that over the course of her lifetime, she has ‘lost nine children by miscarriage.’
Sharon and Phil adopted Roan in 2000 but after the marriage broke up in 2004, the pair embarked on a grueling custody battle that lasted 14 years.
Phil was awarded primary custody in 2008 and it was decided that Roan would stay with him in San Francisco, leaving Sharon in pieces.

‘After I lost primary custody of Roan, I couldn’t function,’ she wrote in her memoir. ‘I just lay on the couch. I was so damn tired. I would cry. I couldn’t focus on anything but having my son back in my arms. Nothing else mattered, just getting him back.’
Although she ultimately signed a confidentiality agreement about the custody battle, Sharon claimed last year that her turn in Basic Instinct was ‘weaponized’ against her in court while she attempted to retain her rights to Roan.
Basic Instinct famously includes a scene in which Sharon changes the cross of her legs, revealing to the audience that she is not wearing any underwear.
Appearing on the Table For Two podcast, Sharon alleged that the judge in the custody battle asked Roan: ‘Do you know your mother makes sex movies?’
She has had multiple relationships since her divorce but never married again, and adopted her two younger sons independently.
