Among the gallery of snaps were also pictures of her daughter over the years, including one picture of her posing as they visited a hospital for Bo's congenital heart defect.
Bo has been in and out of hospital over the years as a result of her condition. She was born with double inlet left ventricle defect, a congenital defect that affects the valves and chambers of the heart.
As a baby, Bo had to have life-saving surgery on her heart and Ulrika has previously spoken about her health condition, saying doctors told her they 'hoped' Bo would live to be a teenager.
In December 2021, Bo was reunited with her mother after spending time in A&E with medical issues amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
