The milestone moment was a family affair, with Pia's eldest son Isaiah also in attendance, as well as Pia's Hollywood agent husband Patrick Whitesell, 60.

Lauren, 55, who is engaged to billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 61, shares two children with Patrick - Evan and Ella - and has son Nikko with NFL star Tony Gonzalez.
'Best day ever! Congratulations sweetheart,' Pia captioned the happy post, showing the family with big smiles on their faces.

Her son Lennox was suited up in his graduation robe and hat, repping the class of 2025.
Last year, Pia took to social media to share her joy that Lennox had been drafted into a competitive US college football team.
Lennox posted a precious photo to Instagram which captured him posing up a storm with some NFL talent scouts at UCLA in Los Angeles, California.
The youngster could not wipe the smile off his face as he posed with the UCLA Bruins football coach and two of its players.
'Grateful & humbled to receive an offer from @uclafootball #gobruins.'
Pia quickly took to the comment section to congratulate her son on the milestone achievement.
'ALL you Lenny! So incredibly proud!' Pia wrote, adding a love heart emoji.
Meanwhile, Nova radio star Lauren Phillips added: 'Wooohooo!!! Congratulations Lenny, you legend.'
Pia's two sons moved to the US with the soap star after she tied the knot with multimillionaire Patrick.
Patrick is a businessman and executive chairman of Endeavor, an entertainment and media agency in the US.
The family have fully immersed themselves in the American way of life, with Lennox playing American football and Isaiah attending college.
Pia and Patrick were secretly wed in 2021, prompting Pia to move from her home in Australia to Patrick's mansion in Los Angeles.

A prankster hired a removalist for a very bizarre job… his unexpected response stunned Aussies
A removalist has won the hearts of Aussies after offering his house to a prankster who had been impersonating a homeless person. Australian pranksters 'Misfit Minds' had organised a stunt 'to hire handymen to just do the most mundane jobs ever'. Member Will Woods decided to pose as a homeless person who had been living in a Melbourne park and needed help to move his tent metres down the road. Woods hired Saresa Removals before Safua Tagiaia and his crew turned up appearing to have no idea they had been called for the menial task. 'We've gotta move the whole house. Thanks for helping me with that,' Woods said. Mr Tagiaia appeared confused and pointed at a house on the street. 'So this whole house here?' The prankster then turned around and pointed to his tent and boxes sitting on the edge of the park. 'No, no, no. This one here.' Mr Tagiaia obliged and help to pack the tent and boxes onto the back of the truck before he offered to give Woods a lift to the new location. 'It's literally just down the road,' Woods said. Mr Tagiaia and his crew drove the truck at a snail's pace as they followed Woods metres down the road. They then unloaded the truck and even helped to set up the tent before Mr Tagiaia turned to Woods and made him a surprise offer. 'If you need a house to stay in, come and stay with me for a week,' he said. 'You can wait for when you can stand on your feet again.' Footage of the heartwarming encounter was shared to the Misfit Minds' social media pages including TikTok. The jokesters (above) have nearly 800,000 subscribers on YouTube Aussies immediately jumped in to praise Mr Tagiaia for making such a generous offer to a stranger. 'They pranked the wrong bloke, that guy had a heart of gold,' one said. 'Safua seemed like a kind hearted man, even asking you if you needed socks,' another wrote. 'Safua is a legend. No judgements. Offers a clearly, very, very disturbed young man a house for a week or whatever,' a third added. Aussies managed to track down the TikTok account of the company to heap more praise on the crew. 'You have got a heart of gold Safua,' one wrote. 'The world needs more people like you, your kindness made me smile and brightened my afternoon,' another said. 'Safua, the top man in Australia,' a third wrote. The company said it had not been aware of the recording until 'loyal customers and friends' shared the video with them. 'This is what we do; we help our community and those who need our help. We don't promise you anything but we act and prove to you that we can take care of you moving needs,' they wrote.

Footy star Lewis Brown relives the shattering moment he found out his dad had taken his own life - then learned his grandfather and great grandfather had died the same way
Former NRL star Lewis Brown has opened up about the heartbreaking discovery of his father's suicide - and the later gut-wrenching news that his grandfather and great grandfather had died the same way. The 38-year-old, who played 198 NRL games and 15 Tests for New Zealand, has spoken about a phone call he received in 2016 to inform him that his dad had passed away. 'I was unfortunate enough to get a phone call, hopped off the field, by my older sister, my only sibling, and it was a phone call that changed my life ... what I valued, and also what life was,' Brown told News Corp. 'That phone call was that he'd taken his own life. I remember being at Liverpool in the hotel bar with Shaun Johnson and his partner, just being very confused about what it meant. 'I'd never really come across the topic of suicide, obviously I'd heard of it but at that time it wasn't talked about either.' Brown, who didn't see much of his father growing up, flew home to Christchurch to be with his mum. While at the funeral, the footballer learned some other shocking news. 'That week, sort of leading up to the funeral was a bit of an odd one,' he said. 'I got to the funeral and walked in and I have a half brother who I hadn't seen since I was four. 'Then as the day went on, I found out my dad, my grandfather and great-grandfather had all taken their own lives. 'And the only thing that we share in common was the same middle name and that's Earl.' 'And the only thing that we share in common was the same middle name and that's Earl.' Brown went on to explain that he never really acknowledged his father while growing up and would call him by his first name instead of 'dad'. 'We'd lost connection for nearly 10 years and during that day, the funeral, people would come up to me and say, "Your dad was so proud of you",' he said. Brown (pictured playing for Manly) said he ran from his middle name 'for 31 years' until he turned a corner and used it as a positive in his life 'Say, "He was always at the pub watching you on a Saturday, Sunday". The thing is he didn't want to be a burden on me; like most males, he didn't want to be a burden. 'Just because he'd seen me on TV, he thought I'd gone off and was living my dream. He just didn't want to be a burden or reach out and no one told me he was dealing with depression. 'I never even knew the history of my grandfather either ... I was just off living my dream and never had any contact from that side.' Shortly after Brown retired in 2019, he decided to start a luxury clothing line called 'Earls Collection'. In six years, Brown's business has thrived and his clothing has been worn by NFL, NBA and NRL stars. 'One day I was up in Paddington ... I remember driving up Oxford Street and I stopped on the side of the road and I was like, "I'm going to call it Earls Collection", he said. 'I've run away from this name for so long, this is the reason why I retired, this is a new chapter in my life. 'I ran from the name for 31 years, let's just give it a go.'
