In her heartfelt message, Chiki spoke about how difficult it can be to find genuine friendships in adulthood. She revealed that she met Tallia during that stage of life, describing their bond as one built on trust and deep understanding. She joked that they know so much about each other that they have no choice but to remain friends forever.
Chiki went on to express her deep love and appreciation for Tallia, describing her as someone she holds dear. She shared prayers and well wishes for the year ahead, hoping for growth and success in Tallia’s podcast, career and family life. Above all, she wished her happiness, noting that she deserves every good thing coming her way.
“Apparently, it’s much harder to find friends in adulthood, but that’s when I found you. We always joke that we know so much about each other, we gotta stay friends forever, or we’re both in trouble 😂😂 Happy birthday, my darling. I love you to the moon and back. I PRAY for you this year. For you, pod, for your career, for your family, but most importantly, for your happiness. You deserve it ALL,” Chiki wrote.
This is not the first time Chiki has publicly celebrated her friend. Last year, on February 26, 2025, she shared another emotional tribute on Instagram describing Tallia as honest, true, dedicated and real. She admitted that words could not fully capture their connection.
In that 2025 message, Chiki recalled a deeply personal moment on her wedding day. As she prepared for the ceremony, she felt the absence of her late grandmother and became emotional. Tallia noticed and stepped in quietly. She brought her a drink to calm her nerves and a chain bearing her grandmother’s photo, reminding her that she was still present in spirit.
Chiki praised Tallia for being thoughtful and deeply supportive, saying she deserves all the love she so freely gives to others.
