The Bachelorette stars Laura Byrne and Matty Johnson, who found love on the 2017 season of the hit show, continue to charm fans with their playful dynamic. Over the weekend, Laura, 39, posted a hilarious yet heartfelt Instagram birthday dedication to her husband, celebrating his quirks and their life together.

“Happy birthday to this glorious hunk of dad, the real MVP of this family and the man who thinks budgy smugglers are a complete summer wardrobe,” Laura joked in her caption. She praised Matty’s “daily silliness,” his dedication to chores like “filling the green bin,” and his “10 out of 10 chicken pies,” adding, “You’re aging like a fine wine… how lucky we are to do life by your side.”

Highlights included a teenage Matty at a school dance and multiple cheeky shots of him in vibrant swimwear. Fans loved the mix of nostalgia and comedy, with the post racking up nearly 12,000 likes within hours.

Baby Name Blunder
The tribute comes weeks after Laura humorously called out Matty for accidentally spilling their unborn daughter’s name on his Two Doting Dads podcast. During an Instagram Q&A, a fan asked if she “punched Matt in the ovaries” for the slip-up. Laura, unaware of the incident, reacted in mock outrage: “He did f***ing what?!”

Laura confronted Matty about the podcast slip-up in a playful Instagram clip.

In a follow-up video, Laura grilled Matty as they lounged in bed. “Did you say the baby’s name on the podcast?” she asked. Matty denied it, insisting, “I would never!” while struggling to keep a straight face. Laura teased, “Normally we’re good at keeping boundaries… normally.” Though Matty claimed the rumor was “false,” fans suspect the reveal was edited out of the episode.

Growing Family
The couple announced their third pregnancy in April on Laura’s podcast, Life Uncut, which she co-hosts with Bachelor alum Brittany Hockley. Their baby girl is due in October, adding another chapter to their love story that began on reality TV.
