Bozoma Saint John celebrated her daughter Lael’s 16th birthday with an extravagant gift—a silver Maserati Grecale Trofeo worth $110,200. The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star surprised her daughter with the luxury vehicle, adorned with a large red bow, after Lael passed her driving test. During the show’s episode, Bozoma excitedly announced, “You’re getting a Maserati!” The pair marked the milestone in matching black T-shirts featuring a mock California driver’s license with Lael’s photo. Overwhelmed by the gesture, Lael hugged her mother, who reassured her, “I love you. You deserve it.”
The celebratory moment contrasted with recent hardships. Bozoma and Lael lost their Malibu home in the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, a tragedy that deeply affected them. A month later, Bozoma shared a video of them sorting through the remains of their house before being treated to a spa day by friends. Reflecting on the ordeal, she expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support, calling the gestures “prayers, texts, love, flowers, DMs, casseroles… and a spa day.” She added, “Our hearts are full. Onward with love.”
Amid the challenges, Bozoma—who is engaged to marry Keely Watson in August—and her daughter later took a belated birthday trip to Australia. Bozoma humorously recounted Lael’s elaborate “mini CEO”-style pitch for the vacation, complete with a 40-minute presentation. “Every year, Lael pitches her birthday trip like a mini CEO: deck, data, and all,” she wrote online, noting their undisclosed 2025 destination was “another reminder that time (and this girl) flies.”
