The artist dedicated a series of Instagram posts for the 41-year-old actor, showing photos of their moments together as well as a glimpse of Cruz as a father to his son Elias.
“Happy birthday behbeh. Wala ka nanamang battery. Tawagan mo ako pag meron na,” she addressed him.
“Mahal kita beh,” she added in one of her posts.
Santos also re-shared one of Cruz’s photos through her Instagram Stories, adding the caption: “Tigilan mo nga ako sa tingin na ‘yan.”

Cruz confirmed his relationship with Santos during a “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” interview in October 2023, two years after they were first speculated to be dating.
Cruz also disclosed at the time that he and Santos met at an art gallery owned by her family, when he took a break from show business. The actor credited the artist for helping him realize the importance of marriage.
“She’s very elemental sa mga ganyang bagay, kung paano namo-mold ‘yung nalabas sa bibig ko, nabuo sa isip ko, the consideration lagi for the two of us, lalo na sa kanya, laging nand’un,” he spoke of his girlfriend.
