Lauren Sorrentino is sending her love to husband Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino on his 42nd birthday!
In a sweet Instagram post on Thursday, July 4, Lauren wrote a message to the Jersey Shore alum alongside a series of photos. The pictures were from different times throughout their relationship.
“Happy Birthday to the best husband, father and man I know! We are so blessed to have you as ours, I love you! ♥️ 🎂 🎇,” she wrote in the caption.
The first image was from when they first dated, followed by a snap of them holding son Romeo Reign, 2 ½ , and daughters Luna Lucia, 4 months and Mia Bella, 18 months.
The next slides were a mix of couple and family photos, ending with a video of Romeo feeding Mike cake and ice cream before eating some himself.
In April, Mike and Lauren spoke to PEOPLE exclusively about life as a family of five after welcoming newborn Luna in March.
"We are over the moon to welcome Luna Lucia into the Sorrentino family," the couple told PEOPLE. "She has been such a blessing. Romeo and Mia Bella are just as in love as we are. We couldn't be happier to be a Situation family of 5!"

Mike has been open about his past struggles with addiction, some of which was shown on MTV’s Jersey Shore. He has said that his roles as a dad and husband have helped him remain sober.
“I'll be honest with you. I'm happy to make it this far,” Mike told PEOPLE in August 2023 at the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation premiere. “I was so wild in my twenties and thirties that being the family man that I am today — being eight years sober in December, a dad of two, married five years in a happy, healthy marriage — I'm killing the game.”
