The two moms brought their families together for a heartwarming celebration with JAKKS Pacific, honoring a century of childhood magic, friendship, and imaginative play.
Some childhood memories never fade, and Winnie the Pooh has spent a century creating them. On October 7, Aurora Culpo and Nicole Williams English came together in Manhattan Beach for a special celebration honoring the beloved Disney character’s 100th anniversary, joined by their children for an afternoon filled with family moments and playful nostalgia.
Hosted at Aurora’s home, the celebration brought Aurora’s fiancé, Zac, and her children, Remi, Soleil, and Selene, together with Nicole and her daughter, India Moon English. The gathering was a sweet reminder of how beloved characters can bring generations together, creating new memories while celebrating the stories families have cherished for years.

A Little Magic for the Next Generation
The celebration also highlighted JAKKS Pacific’s Disney Darlings Magical Birthday Surprises collection, featuring interactive baby dolls inspired by Winnie the Pooh and his friends, including Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger.
The 13-inch dolls feature light-up starry cheeks, giggling sounds, feeding play, birthday-themed accessories, and magical surprises. Designed to encourage imaginative play, the collection brings a fresh, playful twist to characters that have been part of childhood for generations.
What makes this collaboration especially charming is its celebration of the little things that make childhood so memorable: storytelling, imagination, and the joy of sharing something special with family. Bringing Aurora and Nicole together with their children gave the anniversary a personal touch, connecting Winnie the Pooh’s enduring legacy with a new generation of fans.
A hundred years later, the message remains just as sweet: friendship, kindness, and a little imagination never go out of style.
