TheReal Housewives of Orange Countystar, 51, shared a collection of photos of the big night toher Instagram, showing Sophia and her friends dressed in matching black dresses and posing for pictures outside.
“8th grade dance…,” she captioned the post, which also included a shot of her, Barney and Sophia posing together.
“We are so proud of you Sophia,” Judge added in an Instagram Story, alongside a red heart emoji. “Mom & Dad.”

In April, Judge claimed that Barneywas blocking Sophia from appearingonRHOC.
The reality star shared a screenshot of a text exchange with her daughter to her Instagram Story. In the messages, the teen expressed disappointment about being excluded from a Bravo photo shoot ahead of Season 14.
“Breaks my heart that Sophia feels left out. We’ve begged her dad,” Judge captioned the screenshot.
In 2014, Barney attempted togain full custodyof their three children, Sophia, Spencer and Sidney, from whom Judgeis now estranged.
Barney claimed in court documents that Judgehad been “very neglectful”in caring for their children. His request for full custody was ultimately denied, though he did receive custody of their daughter Sidney after she chose to live with him full-time.
Last fall, the reality star said that her son Spencer would begin appearing onRHOCafter his 18th birthday.
His 18th birthday celebration was featured in a November episode that Judge said was “extra special” to her, as he had not been featured on the series since his 7th birthday.
Of her relationship with Sophia’s sister, Sidney,Judge said in Decemberthat she still “think[s] there’s going to be a time where we’re going to be back together.”
However, she admitted that, at the time, their rocky relationship is “out of sight, out of mind” for Sidney, who is attending college out of state. “I will text her probably once a month,” Judge said, “tell her I love her, my door’s always open to her, and I hope life’s treating you well.”
Asked if Sidney responds to the texts, Judge said, “No.”
Their relationship appeared to be on the mend in 2017, but Judge caused another rift when she publicly shared photos ofSidney’s high school graduationto Instagram.
