Garner took to Instagram to wish her 'Alias' costar a happy 75th birthday, sharing some adorable photos of the two of them through the years.

Jennifer Garner penned a sweet birthday post to her former Alias co-star Victor Garber, who played her father in the ABC spy series.

Garner tagged her TV dad in an Instagram post that featured a carousel of photos, starting with a trio of black and white images of the two smiling and laughing together.


Alias was a hugely popular espionage thriller created by J. J. Abrams that ran for five seasons from 2001 to 2006.

The show centered on double agent Sydney Bristow, played by Garner, who assumes different aliases on covert missions to take down a notorious global crime organization, all while trying to balance a normal life.

Garber played Sydney's protective father and CIA agent, Jack Bristow, a role that earned him the 29th spot onTV Guide's "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" list.

The two actors have remained close friends ever since they began working together, which leads us to the present with Garner celebrating her TV dad.

Garber turned 75 on March 16, and the 13 Going on 30 actor made sure to send him some birthday love.

"Everything’s better when I’m next to you, Spy Daddy," she wrote, adding, "Happy Birthday."

The next photo showed Garner seated in a faux fur armchair with Garber standing behind her.

The third and final image was a throwback selfie of the pair, presumably from the set of Alias.

Fans were envious of their friendship.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.
