Stonestreet asked followers to use his comments to praise people they love, tag friends they miss and share kind memories—a tradition he began the previous year. In his caption he stressed he didn’t want posts about himself but stories celebrating others.
His birthday came a day after he and Lindsay marked their first anniversary on Sept. 8. The couple married at their Kansas City home on Sept. 8, 2025, choosing the date between her Sept. 7 birthday and his Sept. 9 birthday. He revealed they surprised family with the ceremony and that John and TJ Osborne surprised Lindsay with a living-room performance of "Pushing Up Daisies." For her birthday he joked he bought himself a mint-green romper to wear to her dinner and posted a heartfelt anniversary message.
