Shirley took to Instagram last week to wish her partner a happy birthday with a heartwarming message.
Along with three snaps, she penned: “A huge happy 49th birthday to my wonderful boyfriend. “(Almost 50) lol You are a wonderful human being, kind and caring, a brilliant father to Sony. An amazing family man. (sic)
“This last three and half years has flown by. I appreciate all you do from your singing, acting and producing ,but most of all I appreciate the human being you are.
“We have had lots of laughs along the way, we seem to compliment each other in so many ways. Hope you have a wonderful time surrounded by all your friends in Blood Brothers.
