When it comes to lists of the coolest celebrities in Hollywood, Diane Kruger should always be at the top. And since July 15th is her birthday, there’s no better time to celebrate the level of effortless cool she’s achieved in her 45 years. It goes without saying that includes her equally rad boyfriend Norman Reedus and their one-and-a-half-year-old baby girl, both of whom Kruger’s life seems to be centered around at the moment.
For the first 15 years of Kruger’s life, she lived in the tiny German village of Algermissen, where she dreamed of being a ballerina. When an injury sidelined that plan, she modeled before ultimately becoming an actress. Other fun facts about Kruger? She’s multi-lingual; she lived in a mental hospital for three months while shooting the low-budget film Frankie; and her favorite city is Paris. But of all the things Kruger has accomplished and loved in her life, we suspect it’s Reedus and their baby girl that bring her the most joy.
Although Kruger and Reedus tend to keep both their relationship and their daughter on the down-low, they have shared some super-heartwarming glimpses into their beautiful little world. So, in honor of Kruger making another circle around the sun, let’s take a look at this sweet family and some of their most adorable moments together. Who knows? Maybe some of Kruger’s coolness will rub off on the rest of us.

No matter what you call them, we can probably all agree Reedus came back with too many of this tuber and not enough of anything else. Moral of the story? Don’t let this guy do the pandemic shopping.
