Naomie Olindo 29th Birthday Celebrations

Naomie Olindo is sharing her gratitude on her birthday. The Southern Charm alum recently took to Instagram to open up about what —or more accurately, who — she’s most thankful for as she celebrated turning 29 years old.

How to Watch

Watch Southern Charm on Bravo Thursday, December 5 at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

On August 4, Naomie commemorated her special day on Instagram, sharing a photo of herself posing in front of a boat on an outdoor dock. “Hi 29,” she captioned the snapshot. “The only thing I can think of today is how grateful I am for the people in my life…especially with how much I’ve had to lean on them lately.”

Naomie went on to conclude, “Turns out the only two things that truly bring me genuine happiness are loving people and animals. So here’s to another year of doing just that.”

Plenty of friends and followers made their love and support known in the post, including fellow Southern Charm-er Leva Bonaparte. “Happy birthday friend! You are one in a million - knew that the minute i met you! We love you,” Leva wrote in the comments.

The reflective message comes several weeks after Naomie confirmed her breakup from Metul Shah. The pair dated for three years and briefly moved to New York City together earlier this summer before calling it quits in July.


"Naomie and Metul are no longer together," Naomie's agent, Paul Desisto, told PEOPLE at the time. "She is back in Charleston and plans to stay there for the time being."
