The media personality shared images from his graduation with his father.

“Every step I've taken has been guided by your unwavering support and belief in me. Thank you for empowering me to chase my dreams and for encouraging me to be true to myself. As I stand here today, holding my BBA degree from Regenesys Business School, I am filled with gratitude for everything you've done,” he wrote.

“You've given me the freedom to explore, to learn and grow, and for that, I am forever indebted. Now, more than ever, I strive to make you proud, not just as your son, but as the person you've always seen in me.
