Joining the celebration, actress Jennifer Garner sent her warm wishes to the One Last Time singer and made a playful reference to her own romantic comedy, 13 Going on 30. Garner wrote, “If you’re not flirty and thriving, I don’t know who is—happy birthday, @arianagrande!! XX.”
The well-wishes continued pouring in as Kris Jenner, a familiar face from Thank U, Next music video, expressed her love and shared birthday greetings. The singer’s former Victorious co-star, Liz Gillies, also chimed in, exclaiming, “Omg. Happy 30th. I love you.”
