A year earlier, the cast and crew had also commemorated Vanessa and Jason's birthdays with two separate cakes. Posing together in the heartwarming photo, both actors beamed after being gifted with cakes of the Hawaii coastline, as well as miniature models of themselves with surfboards. Thanking his fans for their good wishes, Jason wrote: "Having a great shared birthday w/ @VanessaLachey on the set of @NCISHawaiiCBS today - thanks for all the love. #NCISHawaii."

As well as her adorable friendship with Jason Antoon, Vanessa Lachey is particularly close with NCIS: Hawai'i director, LeVar Burton, and she recently penned a heartfelt tribute to him for Black History Month.
The actress began: "I have immense respect for Mr LeVar Burton and what he has done to further representation in television. From his groundbreaking beginnings until today, he has continued to raise the bar by diversifying his craft and doing it all while never compromising!"
Vanessa, who is currently filming new episodes in Hawai'i, continued: "He has risen to every occasion while earning the respect of his many colleagues along the way. I've had the pleasure of working with him on multiple episodes of NCIS: Hawai'i (this one is super special!) and to say he has shown and taught me a lot is an understatement."
