Aww! Brad Falchuk knew exactly what to do when Gwyneth Paltrow‘s 47th birthday came around on Friday, September 27. Taking to Instagram, he listed all the great things that he loves about Gwyn that he wouldn’t change for the world.

“Today is Gwyneth’s birthday so I’m just going to say it,” he began. “She’s the greatest human being ever. She’s not perfect — her sense of humor can be a little on the dirty side, she gets very angry at other drivers, isn’t that cheery before her first cup of coffee, considers dehydration to be a character flaw and improperly seasoned food hurts her feelings.”

“Even with all of these imperfections, her gifts elevate her — blue eyes that see the best in the people she loves and a tireless drive to make sure they see it too,” he continued. “Soft, hard working hands that she uses to make the most delicious pancakes and make you feel at home with the slightest touch.”

Brad didn’t stop there. He also spoke about Gwyn’s parenting skills with her kids — Apple, 15, and Moses, 13 — and her ability to be a stepmother to his kids — Isabella and Brody — who he shares with his ex-wife, Suzanne Falchuk.

“She’s a relentless mother and step mother,” he said. “The BEST wife, all of her friends know she’s their champion and no one wears clothes as well as she does. She’s endlessly fascinating, succeeds at everything she does and drinks whiskey and eats fried food yet still manages to look like that. Happy birthday, Love. I know I’m not the only person to say, thank God you were born. I love you.”

Alongside Brad’s beautiful caption was a photo of Gwyn looking absolutely amazing with no makeup. In the comments section, their friends also wished the Shakespeare in Love star a happy birthday.

Today is Gwyneth’s birthday so I’m just going to say it – she’s the greatest human being ever. She’s not perfect – her sense of humor can be a little on the dirty side, she gets very angry at other drivers, isn’t that cheery before her first cup of coffee, considers dehydration to be a character flaw and improperly seasoned food hurts her feelings. Even with all of these imperfections, her gifts elevate her – blue eyes that see the best in the people she loves and a tireless drive to make sure they see it too. Soft, hard working hands that she uses to make the most delicious pancakes and make you feel at home with the slightest touch. Extreme curiosity and even more extreme bravery to share that curiosity and the places it takes her with the world. She’s a relentless mother and step mother, the BEST wife, all of her friends know she’s their champion and no one wears clothes as well as she does. She’s endlessly fascinating, succeeds at everything she does and drinks whiskey and eats fried food yet still manages to look like that. Happy birthday, Love. I know I’m not the only person to say, thank God you were born. I love you.

“You should be writer,” Kate Hudson said in response. “Love this so much! You did forget to mention that she drives like a maniac AS she’s getting angry at other drivers 😂 Happy Birthday Beautiful Gwyneth! ❤️❤️❤️.”

Rob Lowe added, “Perfectly said,” and Chelsea Handler joked, “Well, this is just ridiculous. What are the rest of us supposed to do? I’m going to take an edible.”

Brad already said it but we’re going to say it again. Happy birthday, Gwyneth!
