"Happy birthday to my wife!" Cole wrote in the caption, prompting Vanessa to reply back in the comments section, "High cheeks 4evaaaa." 

The Sucker Punch star's birthday comes 12 days after she and Cole tied the knot in Tulum, Mexico. Their destination wedding was attended family and close friends such as Sarah Hyland and Alexandra Shipp—who sereved as bridesmaids—as well as Vanessa's former HSM costars Monique Coleman and Lucas Grabeel.

"It was genuinely the most magical weekend of my life," Vanessa told Vogue in a Dec. 6 story about the nuptials. "I am so grateful that we got to have a private wedding, and it helped that I took everyone's phones away. It was amazing because at the dinner, I would look around and everyone was talking to each other—our family and friend groups coming together and creating real relationships that I know they're going to invest real time into."

She continued, "I couldn't have dreamt it to be any better."
