Tiffani Thiessen rose to stardom on Saved by the Bell in her teens as Kelly Kapowski, and now her young daughter looks just like her.
Thiessen, 52, played the iconic Bayside High cheerleader on the beloved teen sitcom from 1989 to 1993, and continued her role as Kapowski on the short-lived series Saved by the Bell: The College Years. Her character finally married Zack Morris in Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas in 1994. (Yes, over 30 years ago!) Of course, her post-Saved by the Bell years led Thiessen not too far away from Bayside High. She landed on Beverly Hills, 90210 as the troublemaker Valerie Malone, where she caused chaos for 5 seasons before departing. These days, Thiessen is thriving as a social media influencer and actress known for sharing her delicious recipes online. However, the proud mama took to Instagram for Mother’s Day to celebrate her favorite role: mother.
“My most cherished role…. being their mother ❤️ Happy Mother’s Day to all who nurture, mentor, and love,” Thiessen captioned the photo, which showed her alongside her children, Harper and Holt. One look at her daughter, Harper, and it’s safe to say the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Her daughter could play Kelly Kapowski in a new Saved by the Bell reboot!

Will They Reboot Saved by the Bell Again?
Saved by the Bell was back in action… for a short amount of time, at least. A reboot of the series aired on Peacock for two seasons from November 2020 to December 2021, and starred Thiessen as her beloved character, who was still married to her longtime love, Zack Morris. However, the reboot didn’t stick. When asked if she thought another one was possible, Thiessen spoke candidly.
“I don’t think so. I think they tried it,” she told PEOPLE last year. Even though it didn’t last, Thiessen made it clear she “loved the reboot.”
“It only lasted two seasons, sadly,” she added. “[But] who knows? There are other shows that are in my sort of realm that are further along in possibly getting a reboot.”
