“My adorable boy @tidiane_sy_ is 18 today.
An extraordinary son from day one, growing up to be an extraordinary man.
Happy birthday my Tij,” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post.
Hélène Sy, the wife of Omar Sy, took to social networks to celebrate the coming of age of her third child, Tidiane.

A tender gesture from a mother but a teenager's worst nightmare, Hélène Sy accompanied her publication with numerous family photos which show her son at all ages.
In some photos, we also see Omar Sy, his nephew and actor Alassane Diong, but also the rest of the siblings: Selly (22 years old), Sabah (20 years old) and Alhadji (14 years old).
All that is missing is the youngest, Amani-Nour, aged 6.
Future professional basketball player?
Hélène and Omar Sy, together since 1998 and married since 2007, moved to Los Angeles in 2012. This is where Tidiane Sy continued her education in an American high school.
Standing at 1.91 meters tall, the young man seems to particularly thrive in basketball.
A member of the Calabassas high school team, he posts some of his exploits on the field on Instagram but overall remains very discreet.
His parents, on the other hand, were recently in the spotlight. They indeed shone during a surprise appearance at the Sag Awards on February 24, when Omar Sy was responsible for presenting an award.
