“When Calls the Heart” stars Ben Rosenbaum and Andrea Brooks are birthday twins!
Dedicated “WCTH” fans, affectionately called “Hearties,” were delighted when Brooks took to social media on March 3 to commemorate the occasion by sharing photos of the pair posing in different photobooths over the years, celebrating not only their matching birthdays, but a friendship that’s been going strong for over a decade now.
Rosenbaum & Brooks Share Their Photobooth Tradition
“Happy birthday, birthday twin! We’re 03 for 03 on the photobooth pics!” wrote Brooks in the caption of her Instagram photo that featured three adorable photos of the pair posing in photobooths with fun props and accessories.
Rosenbaum responded to Brooks with a comment that read, “life of the photo booth party for at least a decade and going strong!!! Happy Birthday, Twin!!!”
Hearties took to the comments to share their birthday wishes, too:
“my favorite birthday twins”
“Happy birthday to my fun, kind, and mega-talented Hope Valley pals, Andrea and Ben!”
“Happy Birthday Andrea. Happy Birthday Ben may your days be bright and fruitful.”
“Awe it’s my son’s bday today too! So happy to know he shares a birthday with y’all! Happy Birthday!!”
“Hapoy Birthday to two of my favorite actors !!! Lovely !! Send you lots of happiness and love”
Rosenbaum & Brooks’ Close Friendship
In the beloved series “WCTH,” Rosenbaum plays Mike Hickam, the earnest, hardworking mayor of Hope Valley, while Brooks plays Dr. Faith Carter, the town’s dedicated doctor and nurse. Both actors have been on the show for many seasons. Rosenbaum has been a cast member on the show since its inception in 2014, while Brooks joined the cast in Season 2 and becoming a series regular by Season 3.
Their friendship has been shared with Hearties through social media posts, like the ones from Erin Krakow, who plays Elizabeth Thatcher on “WCTH,” and is also married to Rosenbaum. Krakow shared her own birthday wishes for Brooks on Instagram, referring to her co-star and close friend as “kindhearted” and a “good person.”
“Happy birthday @andreakbrooks! At game night you asked ‘Do we have to keep score?’ and with that innocent question you 1: confirmed everyone’s belief that you’re kindhearted (you really are) and 2: completely derailed the game. 🤣 You’re such a good person and despite juggling a successful career, 3 children, marathons, and more – you always prioritize showing up for your friends. I’m very thankful for your presence in my life. I hope you have a wonderful birthday!”
