Maddie Ziegler of "Dance Moms" celebrated her 15th birthday last Sept. 30 and her co-stars took to Instagram to share heartfelt greetings for her.

She also posted an old photo of her and Ziegler pouting lips.

Kendall Vertes also could not contain her love for her friend as she wrote, "You have accomplished so much and you are only 15...WHATTTTTT! I hope you have the best day ever. So happy I get to call you my best friend."

Ziegler also posted a photo of her and boyfriend Jack Kelly, who she has been dating for 10 months. For their first year anniversary, Ziegler is planning to go to Australia with her boyfriend. She also posted another photo where she wore a red dress with polka dots with a caption that read "15."
