Posting to her Instagram, the 32-year-old penned a sweet birthday message to the purple Wiggle as he turned 36, referring to him as her ‘bestie’.

The trained ballet dancer’s sweet post comes after Lachy wished Emma a Happy Birthday last month.
At the time, he posted a photo of Emma dressed up as a princess fairy to Instagram and added a lovely message.
Emma and Lachlan are still close friends after announcing their shock split in 2018 after two years of marriage.

Both Lachlan and Emma have moved on with new partners since their breakup three years ago.
Emma announced her engagement to fellow Wiggles musician Oliver Brian in April, 15 months after the pair went public with their romance.

She confirmed her relationship with Oliver in an interview with The Daily Telegraph’s Stellar Magazine in December 2019.
‘Yes, I’m in love and I feel very excited to tell you,’ she told the publication, describing their relationship as ‘new’ at the time.
Meanwhile, Lachlan got engaged to ballet dancer Dana Stephensen last year.

Lachlan and Dana also surprised everyone when they announced they’d welcomed twins in September last year.
The Wiggles star wrote on Instagram: ‘Oh Lulu and Lottie, your mummy and daddy love you with all we have – you are both so beautiful – and I would love to sing to you both forever.’
Neither Lachlan nor Dana had given any indication they were expecting a child, let alone twins, meaning fans were completely floored by the news.

And while Emma confirmed she will be leaving The Wiggles next year, it appears the two don’t plan on bringing their friendship to a halt.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Emma would take a step back from her role as the Yellow Wiggle, to pass on her skivvy to newcomer Tsehay Hawkins.
The Ethiopian-born dancer, whose first name is pronounced se-hi, joined the Wiggles family earlier this year for the launch of YouTube show ‘Fruit Salad TV’.
