'We are here for all of it and we love you more than you could know. Happy birthday baby.'
Kiki is the daughter of Charlie and her ex Tony Truman, who is an entrepreneur with a string of hospitality ventures in Ibiza including the popular Ocean Beach Ibiza.
Tony also took to Instagram to mark the occasion with a gallery of sweet snaps and gushed that Kiki has 'changed his life for the better'.
He penned: 'Today my beautiful little Kiki custard turns 20 @kikitruman. In 2004, we never expected to become parents myself & @charlie_brooks_xx
'(And at the time… a kid was the last thing we were thinking off, but sometimes the biggest surprises are the best surprises & both of us would not change it for the world baby)
'But it certainly changed my life for the better in every way possible. A daddy-daughter bond is so super special.
'And I’m so lucky to experience the joy of fatherhood for 2 decades now, the first decade was an unbelievable time of watching her grow from this tiny little baby into a sweet precious baby girl, learning her first 3 words of daddda , duckkk & Chelse….she couldn’t quite get the 3rd word but sure you can guess what it was.'
Tony went onto reflect on his relationship with Kiki over the last two decades from 'learning to ride a bike and swim' as a child to 'boyfriends, nights out and driving' as a teenager.
