Crystal Kung Minkoff celebrated her son, Max Minkoff, in the most amazing way for his 13th birthday with the coolest Bar Mitzvah. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum and her husband, Rob Minkoff, are parents to two children, Max, and 10-year-old daughter, Zoe, and Max’s big bash will certainly be one to remember.
Max officially turned 13 years old on Sept. 13, with Crystal posting a series of photos of him eating dessert on Instagram. “He’s 13 today. I’m 25 forever. Don’t ask questions,” she captioned the moment.
A week later, Crystal took to her Instagram Story, where she documented Max’s super amazing Bar Mitzvah, complete with tons of dancing and a life-sized Labubu in attendance. In photos and videos from the evening, Max can be seen reading the Torah in the religious ceremony, before the celebration truly began at the West Hollywood nightclub, Keys. Guests got to hang out on a dance floor, take photos in a photo booth, listen to the amazing DJ, and party with a Labubu — including Max, who got to dance the night away.
But it wasn’t just Max and his friends who got to have all the fun — Crystal and Rob joined in on the fun, too. At one point, she got hoisted up in a chair on the dance floor and, at another point, even took over the microphone on stage to sing along to Whitney Houston. Rob, on the other hand, got to keep the nickname “Hip Hop Rob” when he showed off his incredible dance moves on stage.
She also shared a video from the event, captioning the moment she was lifted up in the chair, “If I’m paying, I’m playing.”
