On Instagram, Issa gave fans a glimpse of their intimate celebration through a short video capturing special moments from the occasion. Alongside the clip, she penned an emotional note expressing how much James has meant in her life and how their relationship has become a source of comfort and strength.
“Happy 33rd my love with you I feel at home, I feel the most safe & free,” she wrote. “Thanks for being you, for lifting me up so I can fly, and for teaching me that dreams aren’t a far away destination in the future, but is lived here & now.”
James later responded to the touching message with a simple but affectionate reply: “Pause please here forever.”
