Underneath in the comments section, Jake's friend Sonny Hall, who has the same name as his brother, wrote: 'Happy birthday Jakey boy love u guys so much. With you always.'

Posting his own tribute with a picture of Jake on his Instagram Story, Sonny wrote: 'Heyooo Jake happy birthday we love you and miss you so much.'

PrettyLittleThing founder Umar Kamani wrote: 'Happy birthday Jakey miss you so much brother wish we could celebrate together in true Jake style.' 

His former TOWIE co-star and friend James 'Arg' Argent, said: 'Happy heavenly birthday Jake. Love ya mate.' 

Jake died in May aged 35 after he sustained fatal injuries from smashing his head through a glass door at a villa in Santa Margalida, Mallorca.

Jake's ex Missé Beqiri recently revealed that it has been 'scary' becoming a single mother to their daughter River, eight, following his death.

The Real Housewives Of Cheshire star, 39, opened up about Jake's death, admitting that she 'does not want to be insensitive'.

She emphasised how she 'loved him, and he loved her', but they were not a couple at the time of his passing. 

She told the publication: 'We once shared a life together with a child, we were going to get married.'

His former TOWIE co-star and friend James 'Arg' Argent, said: 'Happy heavenly birthday Jake. Love ya mate.'

Misse continued: 'It's very sad to lose him, but the ones who are mostly affected are his family and our child.' 

The pair dated for five years before quietly splitting in 2021.

The star also opened up about how she feels more pressure to be a good parent to their daughter, now that she is raising her as a single mother.

She said: 'It's scary, because it is all on me; I am both parents to her.'

Misse also shares a son named Julian with her ex-husband Anders Lindegaard.

Jake's death is especially heartbreaking for Missé, who also lost her brother seven years ago.

Flamur Beqiri, who was known as Alex, died aged 36 on Christmas Eve in 2019 when he was fatally shot by hired assassin Anis Hemissi in front of his wife Debora Krasniqi and one of their two children.

She told The Sun: 'How is this happening to me again?' as she explained how she was trying to process her grief.

Missé paid heartbreaking tribute to Jake and her brother on Father's Day.

In her sweet tribute to her tragic loved-ones, she shared a snap of the duo together alongside an impassioned caption about her gratitude and their laughs. 

She wrote: 'Two men, dads, sons, brothers. Today it's Father's Day and I'm honouring these two fathers, my brother Alex and Jake...

'I love you both and I know you're watching over us and the babies. Our hearts are broken and at the same time I laugh because that's all you guys ever did...

'Life is very short, and sometimes we forget to look around us and say thank you, so Thank you. If it's one thing you can do today is that I've learned that my family; children, friends and kids are everything...

'I am beyond grateful for them, for this community and each one of you who has thought of our family in this difficult times. So much respect. So much love and gratitude. Til we meet again.'

As well as the image of Jake and Alex, she also shared a sweet video in which she performed a dance routine with River and Jake.

Jake and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Missé were previously engaged, but later that year Jake was given a restraining order at Westminster Magistrates' Court following a shock row between the then-couple.

There were no details given as to what sparked the order, but Jake's barrister told the court no physical violence had taken place while adding that Jake agreed that a 'cooling off period' may be a good idea to 'keep the peace'.

Despite the unrest in their relationship, the couple later went on to happily co-parent. 

Jake shot to fame on TOWIE in 2015 as a friend of Vas J Morgan and the ex-boyfriend of Chloe Lewis. He was a regular on the reality TV series from series 14 to series 17.

Father's Day fell just over a week after Jake's 'unconventional' funeral.

The unique event saw his family and friends gather at an immersive celebration of Jake's life and work, featuring a large-scale exhibition of his paintings, a tribute to his fashion career and performances from close friends and collaborators. 

Jake's family vowed to 'continue his mission' to display his passions for art and fashion, as they celebrated his life with the immersive exhibition.

Jake's family are launching The Choose Everything Foundation, in his memory, with all proceeds directed towards its formation and his daughter River.

Speaking on behalf of his family, Jake's brother Sonny, who performed a DJ set at the funeral, said: 'We wanted to give Jake a send-off that matched who he was – not a quiet room, not a conventional goodbye. He lived out loud...

'He built things. He made people feel something. Last night was our way of saying: we saw you. We're proud of you. And we're not done yet...

'The art, the foundation, everything we're building in his name – that's the mission continuing. Choose everything.'

The memorial took place hours after Jake's friends and family came together to say their goodbyes at his funeral.

Many appeared to be in disbelief following Jake's shocking death aged just 35 after he ran through a glass door in a holiday villa he was renting on the Spanish island of Majorca – where Jake had lived with his family during his childhood.

Sonny's voice choked up with emotion as he spoke movingly of their lives together in a message he had pre-recorded.

He promised that he would help care for Jake's daughter River and told how his brother had done more in 35 years than most people would in several lifetimes.

Sonny tearfully concluded saying: 'I love you so much – I miss you so much.'
