Fiona the hippo and her boyfriend Timothy don’t let the distance between them get in the way of their adorable relationship.

While Fiona lives over a thousand miles away at the Cincinnati Zoo, her boyfriend Timothy — who resides at the San Antonio Zoo — made sure her third birthday was as special as ever.

Knowing the key to Fiona’s heart, Timothy (with help from zoo staff) sent his girlfriend an Edible Arrangements bouquet on Thursday, according to a picture shared by the Cincinnati Zoo Friday.

“Thanks for the edible arrangement Timothy!” the caption said a photo of Fiona ready to chow down on her fruity present.

Not only did Timothy surprise Fiona with a tasty treat, but he shared a love letter and surprise serenade on Facebook.

“As you turn 3 I want to say that with each passing year you become more and more beautiful, charming and sweet!” Timothy’s post began.

“I mean, heck the moment I first laid eyes on you I already thought you were the most beautiful hippo I had ever seen and yet SOMEHOW, SOME WAY you just keep knocking me off my feet…and that ain’t easy…I HAVE FOUR and a low center of gravity!”

While Timothy isn’t featured in the clip, he did hire his “good buddy, country music star and “official Timothy wingman” Aaron Watson.

In the two-minute long video, Watson sings “Happy Birthday” to Fiona and reminds her that Timothy “loves you so much.”

“He’s sending all his love all the way from San Antonio up to Cincinnati. He wishes he was with you now,” said Watson.

Timothy wasn’t the only one sending Fiona well wishes on her big day.

“Happy 3rd Birthday to the Greatest Hippo in the World! It’s been 3 magical years since fabulous Fiona came into all of our lives and changed us forever!” read an Instagram post from the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden alongside a series of adorable and heartwarming videos of Fiona.

Another longtime cast member of the The Real Housewives of Orange County is saying goodbye.

After 12 seasons on the show, Tamra Judge is departing the series ahead of its upcoming 15th season.

Judge has been on the long-running Bravo franchise since it’s third season in 2007. She’s currently the longest running full-time cast member in Housewives history.

“It’s been a wild ride, and after all these years, I’m looking forward to life away from the cameras,” Judge tells PEOPLE. “I was offered a chance to come back to the show in a limited role, but would prefer to walk away on my own terms.”

Throughout the years on the show, she’s given RHOC some of its most memorable moments, including the show’s first wine toss. She also led a three-episode spinoff series, Tamra’s OC Wedding, which chronicled her June 2013 wedding to husband Eddie Judge at the Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, California.

“Eddie and the kids are very excited,” Judge adds of her husband and her four children — sons Ryan Vieth, 34, and Spencer Barney 19, and daughter Sydney Barney, 21, and Sophia Barney, 14.

“I want to thank all the fans who have offered me their support over the years,” she continues. “It’s meant a lot.”

The reality star — who owns and operates Vena Wellness, a popular CBD company, and CUT Fitness, a gym — posted about her departure on Instagram as well.

“I’m sad to go but I’m very excited about my future,” she wrote, captioning a photo of herself and Eddie.
