When Chaka Khan sang “I’m Every Woman” — she meant it!
The “I Feel For You” songstress, 72, revealed on Instagram that she was the “honorary flower girl” at her granddaughter Daija Jade Holland’s recent wedding.
She shared a snap of herself walking down the aisle in a white dress with golden patterns and holding a small basket of rose petals alongside a little boy, in a white suit, who served as the ring bearer. In two photos, the pair could be seen walking side-by-side as they made their way to the altar.
Additional photos showed moments from the nuptials, including wedding pictures of Daija Jade — in a strapless white gown — and her groom posing alongside the powerhouse singer. Another photo showed the bride-to-be making her way down the aisle with a bouquet in her hands.

“A beautiful family moment worth celebrating 💐💜,” Khan captioned the photos, adding that she was “right there to witness the joy, love, and magic of the day.”
She concluded the caption writing, ”Congratulations to the radiant newlyweds!”
Khan played a special role in Daija Jade’s life growing up, so it was no surprise that she would be there for the big day. The Grammy winner notably obtained custody of her granddaughter, who shares a birthday with her, when she was 9 years old and helped raise her.
“There’s a lot of things I missed as a young mom, because I was too busy growing up myself,” Khan previously told The Guardian in April 2017. “I’m better at it now. I adopted my granddaughter — my son’s daughter — when she was nine. She’s just turned 16. Becoming a mother again later in life was meant to be.”

Daija Jade is the daughter of Khan’s son Damien, who has mainly kept himself out of the public eye. However, Khan has shared messages of support for him throughout the years. In March 2022, she shared a TikTok video sharing a rare birthday message for him.
“Something very special happened to me on March 22, 1978, or 9, I’m not going to tell you which one, how’s that?” she joked. “My son was born. ...He’s my favorite guy in all the world, and I just wanted him to know how much I love him, and I want to say happy birthday, son.”
Khan also has a daughter Indira “Milini” Khan, 51, and three other grandchildren: Raeven Alexis Gibson, Jett Khan-Corley and Josh Khan-Corley.
