Just weeks before their Northern California wedding, Hunter Fieri celebrated his 29th birthday with a heartfelt tribute from fiancée Tara Bernstein, whose emotional message and shared wedding preparations highlight the couple’s deep love and joyful anticipation for their next chapter.

Hunter Fieri, the 29-year-old son of celebrity chef and Food Network star Guy Fieri, marked a milestone birthday on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 — his last before marrying his fiancée, professional pickleball player and social media personality Tara Bernstein later this month.

The celebration quickly became a heartfelt public moment after Bernstein took to Instagram to share a romantic video tribute, giving fans a glimpse into their relationship just weeks ahead of their big day.

Set to The Killers’ hit song “Mr. Brightside,” Bernstein’s montage featured intimate clips from a recent pre-wedding photoshoot, including shots of the couple laughing together and a memorable image of her wearing a cowboy hat emblazoned with the word “Bride.”

In her caption, she poured her heart out to Fieri: “Happy birthday to my rock @hunterfieri 🤍 can’t believe this is the last birthday I’ll celebrate with you as fiancés🥹.

From the moment we met, you’ve been my safe place, my biggest cheerleader, and my favorite adventure!! You are an incredible human and life with you is filled with laughter, love, and the kind of moments I wish I could bottle up forever🤍 cheers to you babe!!!! 29!!!!”

Bernstein’s message quickly resonated with followers, many of whom have been closely following the couple’s relationship since their engagement on Thanksgiving Day 2023.

The couple, who have been together for several years, are set to exchange vows at Guy Fieri’s sprawling Northern California estate in what is expected to be an intimate yet lively celebration featuring family, close friends, and a touch of the Fieri family’s signature flair.

Guy Fieri himself joined in the birthday tributes, posting his own message to honor his eldest son. “From this little kid to an amazing man, it’s been a privilege and honor to watch you grow and become the man you are.

Happy birthday to my son, my friend, my cohost, and my partner in crime lol,” the 57-year-old chef wrote, adding a warm, “Love you son!” His affectionate words reflect the close father-son relationship the two share, which has often been visible to fans on Guy’s popular Food Network series, Guy’s Grocery Games, where Hunter occasionally appears alongside his father.

The lead-up to the wedding has been filled with joyful and often playful moments that the couple has eagerly shared online. In June, Hunter and Bernstein posted a heartwarming video revealing how they had asked Guy’s mother, Penelope Ferry, to serve as their flower girl.

In the clip, the couple surprised her with the proposal, and she responded with sheer delight.

More recently, Bernstein gave fans a look inside her pickleball-themed bridal shower, complete with personalized decorations and playful nods to her athletic career.

Wedding preparations have been a collaborative — and at times comical — affair. Last month, the couple posted a video showing a group of friends on “envelope duty,” helping assemble their ranch-themed wedding invitations.

Their lighthearted bickering during the planning process has become a favorite among followers, with many joking that their dynamic already resembles that of a married couple.

In March, the pair counted down to their wedding with a joint Instagram post that read, “Less than 6 months until I get to marry my best friend ❤️.”

The accompanying video captured a joyful moment on the beach, with Bernstein running and leaping into Fieri’s arms as the caption declared, “Jumping into forever with my favorite person ❤️🌊.”

While neither has shared specific details about the upcoming ceremony, it is widely expected to reflect both of their personalities — blending Bernstein’s athletic, adventurous spirit with the Fieri family’s trademark hospitality and love for good food.

Guests will likely enjoy a menu curated with Guy’s signature flair, and fans speculate that elements of the celebration may be featured on social media or even in future Food Network content.

As Hunter steps into his 30th year with marriage just around the corner, both he and Bernstein have made it clear that they value the shared experiences and strong support system that have defined their relationship.

From surprise gifts to spontaneous trips, they’ve documented a love story that feels relatable yet aspirational to their followers.

This final birthday before the wedding not only marks a personal milestone for Hunter but also serves as a celebration of the journey he and Bernstein have taken together — one filled with laughter, family, and a deep appreciation for each other.

With the wedding only weeks away, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter for the couple, certain that, much like their social media posts, it will be filled with joy, authenticity, and plenty of unforgettable moments.
