AJ Lee Celebrating a Milestone Birthday

Former WWE star AJ Lee is celebrating her 30th birthday today, and noted on social media that CM Punk surprised her with her “other life” partner and former WWE star Kaitlyn:

“Yesterday my husband surprised me with the best early birthday present ever, my other life partner. As I sent some emails, still in my pajamas, looking like hot morning garbage, a familiar voice rang through the hallway to my office. I looked up from my computer and saw the heavenly vision of @CelesteBonin, fresh off a plane, and yet somehow looking like cartoon birds in a Disney movie got her ready that morning.”

I looked up from my computer and saw the heavenly vision of @CelesteBonin, fresh off a plane, and yet somehow looking like cartoon birds in a Disney movie got her ready that morning. Without thinking I instinctively mounted her. Then I looked in her eyes and said “Why are you so pretty? I forgot how much I hate you.” – AJ #bestpresentever #mytwohusbands
