Michelle celebrated the event by sharing a picture of herself and Jay, a representative from Gersh Talent Agency, dressed up as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In the caption of her February 14 post, she wrote, “Happy Valentine’s Day to the man who lets me paint his face.

In the ensuing year, the actress known for playing the Ice Princess celebrated Jay’s birthday by reposting a picture of them both dressed as Jekyll and Hyde, accompanied by the caption, “Happy Birthday to the one who endures me @jaymcohen.
Jay, meanwhile, honored Michelle on Valentine’s Day in 2023 by sharing a sweet mirror selfie.
