Kanye West celebrated his 36^th birthday on Saturday, and since his pregnant, soon-to-be-locked-in-the-custody-battle-of-the-century, baby mama, Kim Kardashian, is in Los Angeles, Kanye had his birthday party in New York. Because God knows nothing can ruin a good time like a pregnant woman.

But Kim and Kanye are soulmates and share such a deep, transcendental relationship that Kim knew she didn’t have to be there in person to wish him happy birthday or glare disapprovingly because she can’t drink or have fun, she simply instagrammed  the above photo collage of the couple during happier times with the deeply personal and private caption:  “Happy Birthday to my best friend, the ♥ of my life, my soul!!!! I love you beyond words!” to her 8,626,209 followers. I’m sure someone passed that along to him.
