The first snap was of Nikko as a toddler in which he donned a backwards cap.
The second photo showed off Lauren's natural beauty as she gave the camera a smile in the throwback picture, which saw her sporting a plaid skirt and white tank top while holding baby Nikko in her arms.
Nikko was then seen alongside his father - Lauren's ex Tony Gonzalez.
She captioned the photos: 'Really emotional day for me. My firstborn graduated from college today! My heart is overflowing with pride for this incredible young man. It seems like yesterday your dad and I were carrying you in our arms.
'I just want you to know how immensely proud I am of you for achieving this milestone. This is just the beginning, Nikko, and I hope you continue chasing your dreams with relentless originality. I love you so much.'
Despite having a mom who is known for being in the spotlight, Nikko has kept a relatively low profile and has largely remained hidden from the limelight.
But he recently made his runway debut as a model for Dolce Gabbana.
Celebrities and fans flooded Lauren's comments section to praise the young man - including actor Mario Lopez.

Although her son may not enjoy being in the spotlight, Lauren is definitely a fan of the cameras and recently made an appearance at the Met Gala.
She stepped out onto the red carpet without her fiancé on her arm, choosing instead to step out alone at the glittering gala, where she put on an incredible display in a custom-made Oscar de la Renta gown.
But while the dress itself was indeed eye-catching, what was more jaw-dropping was the enormous new diamond that Lauren was wearing on her wedding finger, a huge pear-shaped design that eclipsed even the giant rock Bezos had proposed with back in 2023.
It's unclear whether Lauren had simply borrowed the staggering jewel for the event - or whether her fiancé splashed out on an upgraded design - but she chose to let it shine, going largely without any other accessories, save for another diamond ring on her pinky and a pair of diamond earrings hanging from her lobes, having teamed up with jeweler Lorraine Schwartz for the occasion.

While Bezos did not walk the carpet with his future wife, he did join her at the top of the iconic Met Museum steps for a quick photo before they made their way inside the event.
On Sunday, the couple also attended a pre-Met Gala event together, looking every inch the glamorous pairing as they mingled with their fellow celebrities.
Lauren and Jeff Bezos attended the Monse Maison Pre-Met Cocktail Celebration, which was held at La Mercerie in New York City Sunday night.
Yesterday, designer Oscar de la Renta gave viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to craft Lauren Sánchez's dress for the 2024 Met Gala - with Jeff's fiancée joking during one fitting that she 'didn't need to breathe.'
