Brie Garcia had a lot to be thankful for this week, both to a significant birthday milestone and the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Twin Love cohost and former WWE star shared her thanks on Instagram, detailing how she celebrated her 40th birthday on Nov. 21. The post included photos of Garcia dining out with friends, as well as pics of her husband Bryan Danielson, 42, daughter Birdie, 6, and Buddy, 3.
“I can’t convey how incredible this week has been!!! I spent 40 minutes with my family and best friends!!! “Felt so spoiled with all the love I got,” she wrote in the post. “Had the best day with my Mom hiking Camelback Mountain, going to the spa at Montelucia, and getting blowouts!!” My mother made certain that we visited LGO and Chestnut, two of my favourite restaurants. The finest way to celebrate is with your besties at Maple and Ash. I was disappointed that I couldn’t be with my sister, but we’ll always have Como. Spending today in the kitchen with my children and nieces making family delicacies fills my heart with joy!!! ❤️ I’ve been blessed with an incredible hubby who has brought more love into my life than I could have ever imagined!!!
Everyone, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! I hope your day is full with love and thankfulness!!!”While Garcia celebrated her birthday separately from twin Nikki this year, the Bonita Bonita Wine founders hope to reunite soon to go wine tasting and eventually take a trip to Italy’s Lake Como.”

Garcia previously told PEOPLE that at one point in her life, she considered retiring at the age of 40. “When you’re in your 20s and you think 40s, I was like, ‘I’m going to try to be retired, not do anything, not be on social media,'” she said. “I thought I would escape from the world because I do believe at 40, it’s a new chapter in life.”
Brie, on the other hand, discovered she was ready for more.
“I feel so powerful,” she continued. “I feel like I can do anything, and I’m much more daring and want to go on more adventures.” You’ve almost started living because you’ve gone through all the BS and hustle of figuring out who you are. At 40, you realise who you are and begin to pursue the things you have always sought. I can’t believe I believed you stopped life at 40 when I’m just getting started.”
