The photos Kelly shared on her Instagram also show the birthday cake itself. "Blushed birthday beauty look and a very warm birthday dinner celebration by my Charlotte Tilburry family. Thank you so much for so much love," the Brazilian wrote.

Congratulations from Verstappen

"Happy birthday, Kelly," read the message on X from Verstappen.com. After qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the four-time world champion was asked whether he would like his child to become a driver just like his father and two grandfathers. He said he would rather not see that, but will support his child given he sees the passion.
