Birthday Twins Gabrielle Union & Tracee Ellis Ross Turned Up on the Gram

Happy 48th birthday to sisters from another mister, Gabrielle Union, and Tracee Ellis Ross! Yes, not only do these Hollywood actresses share the same birthday, but they are also the same age! In true Scorpio season fashion, they share a girlfriend-love that we’ve enjoyed watching blossom over the years. And, this year wasn’t any different. The actresses posted the sweetest birthday messages to each other. Ross posted a flirty and fun image of Union in a swimsuit with a caption that read, “@gabunion you are a shining and beautiful light. I love being your birthday twin. You are a force, an inspiration, and one of the only people who can get me to turn up. I love inhabiting a world and an industry with you. Happy Birthday you glorious being!” https://www.instagram.com/p/CG78qJAl1tt/?hl=en
