Can you feel the love? 

Raven-Symoné shared a sweet message in honor of her wife Miranda Pearman-Maday's 36th birthday Aug. 6, posting Polaroid photos of a surprise birthday party with pals. 

"To @mirandamaday #happybirthday to my wife, lover, partner, and friend," the Disney Channel alum wrote on Instagram. "Thank you for being empathetic, driven, and magical."

Raven added, "You are loved by me and so many. #youfeelit? I love you."

The That's So Raven star invited influencer JoJo Siwa, entrepreneur Carlysia Levert, esthetician Mimi Maday and actor Julian Joel to celebrate the special day. The house was decorated with rose gold balloons, while their backyard was decked out with water inflatables—courtesy of JoJo—for a pool party.

Mimi thanked JoJo "for buying every blow up pool toy at target" and shared photos of the friends trying to deflate all the toys later that night. 

Raven and Miranda—who recently accompanied JoJo to get her first-ever tattoo—began dating back in 2015 before tying the knot in a backyard ceremony in 2020.

They Dated? Surprising Star Couples

The Cheetah Girls star later revealed that she actually had her romantic partners sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in the past. 

"When I started dating, I had to give people to sign NDAs," the 37-year-old said on a podcast in May, "and it took me a while to wrap my head around it, because it's just very impersonal. But someone in our position needs to do that."

She said she was "reluctant" to follow suit with Miranda because she "knew something was different" about her. In fact, Miranda originally refused, with Raven noting that she "did it for me because she knew that I was being pushed elsewhere, and she understood. But we both were like, this takes away the genuineness of it all."

Last month, Miranda recalled exactly how that conversation went down. 

"She said, 'You gotta sign this,' and I said, 'Wow, that's really sad, I don't want to sign that,'" she told E! News' Francesca Amiker. "Because it made me feel like everything in her life is basically this contractual agreement, even her love life. But then we had a talk about it and she was like, 'Listen, if you want to date me you have to sign this.'"

As Raven teased, "You did it because you want to be with me!"
