Basketball player Bobby Ray Parks turned to social media to share his birthday wish for his girlfriend, vlogger Zeinab Harake, who turned 25 on Monday, December 11.

On Instagram, Ray shared a candid photo of Zeinab alongside his sweet birthday greetings for his girlfriend.

"Happy birthday, Bel! I want to commend you for the being the best mother to our kids, for being such a brave and strong leader, and also for your genuine heart," he wrote.

"I am so proud of you and your growth. May we continue to build our future that is founded upon God’s word and love. May God grant you your heart’s desires. I pray for great health and God’s favor. I love you,” he added.

In the comments section of her post, Zeinab wrote, “Mahal na mahal po kita.”

Meanwhile, Zeinab marked her milestone birthday with a sexy shoot by celebrity photographer Seven Barretto.

Reacting to her photos, Ray couldn’t help but gush about his girlfriend.

“Truly proud of the hard-work you put into the shoot and months of coming up with the concept. You kill’t this junt forreal Bel. Truly at a loss for words on how beautiful you are. Mahal na mahal kita,” wrote Ray.

Ray and Zeinab have been dating since May this year. Zeinab has two children — son Lucas, whom she adopted when she was just 18 years old, and daughter Bia, whom she shares with Darryl Ruiz, more popularly known as the rapper Skusta Clee.

In an interview with PUSH last year, Zeinab expressed her desire to keep things as low-key and private as possible when it comes to her love life.

“Okay lang naman as long as private pa rin, pero hindi mo rin naman itinatago. Okay na ako sa ganung set up kasi ang hirap na lahat inilalantad mo sa media. Ang daming nakikisawsaw, ang daming comments, and hindi iyon naging okay sa dati kong experience before,” she said.

“So, natuto na ako ngayon, low key but not private po. Okay na ako roon. So, meron po. Happy po ako ngayon after lahat ng pinagdaanan ko,” she added.

The vlogger also admitted that she didn’t expect to find love again following her very public split from Darryl in 2022.

“Siyempre, sino ba naman ang mag-aakala… kasi single mom ako, eh. Akala ko dati pag single mom ka, wala na, done na. Hindi pala,” she said.

Zeinab is considered one of the top content creators in the country, with more than 13.9 million subscribers on her YouTube cannel and over 5 million followers on her Instagram account.
