Laurie shared several photos of her husband over the years. In the caption, Liesl praised Dr Musa and reflected on the life they continue to build together.

“To my favourite person in the world, happy birthday! I am so incredibly proud of the man you are and the life we’re building together. You truly are my greatest blessing and my safest place to land,” she said.

She also playfully mentioned the two things he does that test her patience, his passionate reactions while watching Arsenal, and his habit of borrowing her socks.

“I’m endlessly grateful for you—despite the chaotic Arsenal-induced screaming matches with the TV and the fact that you 'borrow' my socks until they’re twice their original size,” Liesl said.

Liesl also shared that this is the first time she has spent Dr Musa Mthombeni’s birthday away from him since they got married five years ago. Part of the caption reads:
