Meghan Markle and Abigail Spencer, who both turned 44 on Wednesday, celebrated their shared birthday with sweet tributes and adorable throwback photos. Now over seven decades into their profound friendship, the two friends threw a small party on Tuesday to celebrate. They have been friends since their time together on the television show Suits. Spencer announced the launch of her new Hello Magazine cover on Instagram, to pay tribute to both herself and Markle, celebrating their connection with three beloved images.
In her own post, Spencer went on to write about how thankful she was that she had survived and for their friendship. She referred to Markle as her “bestie,” an indication of their close relationship despite the public scrutiny surrounding Markle’s life. Even better, the birthday tribute caught fire with their social media followers, millions of whom lauded the nearly uncovered feelings expressed by both women.
A Special Instagram Tribute
Abigail Spencer shared a color-expoding collage to celebrate her birthday. She posted a spirited pic of her in a pink mini dress, celebrating with a sparkler. With this photo, she shared two other photos of the two together, each snapping happy memories from their friendship. Spencer’s caption was filled with affection, as she wrote:
“You’re pure magic!! A force of fun, light, and so much love. Thank you for being the kind of friend who makes everything better (and way more fun). Here’s to the best trip around the ☀️ yet!” – Kelly McKee Zajfen
Markle’s public response to Spencer’s post was surprising, considering she usually does not respond to social media comments. Her response read:
“As glorious as the day I met you. Here’s to the best trip around the sun yet!” – Meghan Markle
This uncommon cordiality between the two only served to highlight the esteem which the two gentlemen hold for one another.
Celebrating Friendship and Milestones
Meghan Markle and Abigail Spencer’s friendship goes way past personal celebrations, though. They have appeared in each other’s projects, including the recent With Love, Meghan, showcasing their professional collaboration alongside their personal connection. The pair’s rich history on Suits meant that their budding relationship blossomed, even while they balanced their careers — which often required travelling — with encouraging each other.
Kelly McKee Zajfen, another co-star from Suits, participated in the joint birthday celebrations by showering Spencer with love on her special day. She wrote:
“Happy Birthday to you sweet M!! 44/4” – Kelly McKee Zajfen
Zajfen’s message reflected the tight-knit community formed among the cast members of Suits, which continues to thrive even after the show has concluded.
Birthday Reflections and Gratitude
Abigail Spencer’s birthday post captured not just a celebration of age but a reflection on life’s blessings. She told me that her gratitude stemmed from the legacy of her own life. She was grateful for the media’s inclusion of Meghan Markle in all of it. In her heartfelt message, she stated:
“Thank you so much everyone for the incredible birthday love,” – Abigail Spencer
Fans flooded social media to praise both women for their genuine displays of love and encouragement. This power couple’s public display of friendship is a great reminder that our best friendships and connections can help us weather life’s challenges.
