“Two years ago, you entered my life and brought endless love, laughter, and mischief. From the adorable chaos of the terrible twos to the heart-melting moments that fill my days, you’ve stolen my heart in the most craziest way.”

He continued on to say that he hopes the day was “filled with double the giggles, double the snuggles and double the joy”, adding, “You are our greatest blessing, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you our little shining star.”

Derulo and Frumes, 29, had their son in May 2021, but broke up just four months after his birth.

The singer recently opened up to People magazine about their co-parenting arrangement saying, “We have an amazing relationship, and we don’t care if we’re confusing people about our situation because our situation is our situation.”
