The sweet post also featured Cooper and Hudson's 1-year-old daughter, Presley, and a close-up shot of the reality star's stunning engagement ring. 

"Well I’m officially 32!🎉" Cooper wrote in another post, showing off her fit bikini body. "Thankful to be celebrating here @liquid_tci with my favorite people. And appreciate all of you for encouraging me throughout my new mom journey this past year❤️I’ll keep sharing all of our adventures!"

"Thanks for keeping this smile on my face all the time💜," she added in a third post with Hudson. "It has been a crazy couple years, and things just keep getting better. Love you forever, @kghudson4😘."
