Koma, 35, who married Duff in 2019, shared a few silly images on social media Saturday in honor of the special occasion for Madden, who dated Duff from 2004 to 2006 and has been married to Nicole Richie since 2010. In one post, Koma shared a photo of Madden, 44, and Duff, 35, in the mid-2000s, alongside a funny caption. "It's not even weird that you dated my wife, it just makes me feel closer to you," he wrote. In a follow-up post, Koma shared an image of himself with Richie, 41, where she can be seen sitting on the floor while he plays a pink guitar. "And now feels like a good time to tell you about me and your wife," Koma joked in the caption. An image of Hilary Duff and Joel Madden, posted by Duff's husband Matthew Koma.

He also shared an image of the words "Matt + Joel 4 eva" written in what appears to be red crayon. Madden later reposted a few of Koma's birthday wishes, including the photo of him and Duff, adding, "We love you Matt." Matthew Koma (right) poses with Joel Madden (left).

"By the way, I have a good relationship with their whole family. I think people were [blown away]. I don't know. We're neighbors. And we actually hang out all the time," she explained at the time. "I was just in her driveway, honking for her to come drink wine with us the other day," Duff added of Richie. "She wouldn't, she was asleep by 8." Duff also shared that since they're all neighbors, they "hike with all the time," adding: "And you know what? It's lovely."
