Ugandan model and socialite Judith Heard marked her 39th birthday in style yesterday.
She shared her excitement on X (formerly Twitter), posting:
“A new chapter, a new age, and a new level of grace. Walking into this season with confidence, purpose, and gratitude for all that has been and all that is to come. May this year be filled with growth, wisdom, and divine favor. Here’s to embracing every step of the journey!”
Born in Kigali, Rwanda, Judith studied Computer Science before moving to Uganda, where she met Dr. Richard Heard.
Her birthday celebration came just hours after she honored her twins, Brenda Jolie Heard and Briana Bella Heard, as they turned 16. On Instagram, she shared:
“Today, I lift my hands to heaven in gratitude for the greatest gift God has ever given me—YOU. From the moment I first held you in my arms, I knew my life had changed forever. Watching you grow into the intelligent, kind, and beautiful young women you are today has been my greatest joy and my biggest blessing.”
She added:
“May this year bring you wisdom beyond your years, opportunities that shape your future, and the courage to chase your dreams fearlessly. Always know that you are deeply loved, cherished, and protected by the Almighty.”
