Raven Ross has lots of reasons to celebrate!

On Sunday, the Love Is Blind alum, 30, celebrated her new boyfriend’s birthday on a romantic beach getaway, nearly five months after her split from her LIB costar Sikiru “SK” Alagbada.

The reality star shared several photos from the trip and gave fans a peek at her beau, who she has not yet publicly identified.

Ross posted a snapshot of a festive hotel room decked out with red and silver balloons — which spelled “Happy Birthday” — and a special message written in rose petals, read, “I ❤️U.” In the background of the shot, her boyfriend can be seen looking out to the ocean on the hotel balcony.

“If you feel like you’ll never find your person, be patient,” she shared on her Instagram Story. “Be your best self and believe in love. Because once you find it it’s so much sweeter.”
