Diane Kruger and fiance Norman Reedus‘ daughter Nova is preparing for the holidays in the most unexpected way. The 6-year-old is throwing all standard gift guides out the window and deciding to gift her dad a … how can we put this? … one-of-a-kind family heirloom.
Kruger posted a photo of a handwritten letter from little Nova on Instagram and rightly captioned it, “Be still my aching heart.”
Addressing the letter to “Mouse,” Nova wrote, “I would really like to keep my tooth for my dad for Christmas.”
“Please, please, please would you let me keep my tooth?” Nova asked before signing the letter that she surrounded with drawings of stars, hearts, and smiley faces.
And if you’re thinking, “Mouse?!” don’t worry. Commenters have you covered. “In Spain [the Tooth Fairy is] a mouse, I think in many parts of Europe and Latin America too,” one person said. Another wrote, “In South America, [it] is Ratón Perez (Mouse Perez) who takes the teeth and leaves money under your pillow. 😉”
How freakin’ cute (if slightly icky and majorly unconventional) is this?! Nova is begging the Tooth Fairy to leave her tooth behind (and potentially giving up any reward money) so that she can give her tooth to Reedus. The actor — who also shares son Mingus with ex Helena Christensen — is about to have the most interesting holiday when he (hopefully!!!) unwraps a little tooth on Christmas morning.
There’s something so incredibly adorable and wholesome about this whole situation. We have no idea why Nova thinks her dad would want her baby tooth, but it’s clear she’s thought it over and really wants to make it a reality.
Now we just have our fingers crossed that “Mouse” listened.
Even if the tooth collector didn’t (BOOOOO!), we know Reedus was touched by his young daughter’s selflessness and thoughtfulness. The Walking Dead star posted the photo of the letter on his own Instagram with a single red heart emoji for the caption.
Reedus and Kruger’s followers couldn’t get over this utterly heart-melting situation. “Omg this is the sweetest thing ever 🥹,” one person wrote on Reedus’ Instagram. Another told Kruger, “That’s adorable omg 😭”
In October, Kruger shared a rare video of Nova walking the streets of New York alongside her dad. The little girl has a red firefighter hat on her head and sweetly holds Reedus’ hand.
“NYC Strong @fdny ❤️🌈🙏 Thank you for all you do and especially for making Nova’s night ❤️,” the National Treasure actress wrote.
And if a toy firefighter hat made Nova’s night, we have no doubt a tooth will make Reedus’ Christmas morning.
