Can’t believe this was a year ago. Spotted by fans after surfing in South Africa.

Gosh, a whole year ago - time flies!
If I remember correctly that pic provoked a fair bit of snark and there were comments by some people suggesting it was a fake pic because they didn’t want to believe Michael was with Alicia in SA. It was a couple of days before Michael’s Birthday and proved he was planning to spend it with Alicia which wasn’t what certain people wanted to hear.
Looks like he could be planning a surfing birthday this year too!

Oh my word, yes! The poor girls were happy to share the pic, only to have the Anti Alicia brigade go ballistic. Because of course he couldn’t want to spend his birthday with the woman he married 6 months laterAh, yes. I remember that pic being quite the dream crusher.![]()

Funny enough that’s what I said when I reposted the pic. Boy was I wrong. I’d never felt the need to block people before that. Strangers going at me across the fandom.I mostly remember people being excited to see that pic because he looked so damn good. But as that’s how I react to most pics with him, maybe I’m not remembering correctly.

Incredible eh?
It’s natural to me that Michael would want to be with the woman he loves on his birthday, and I’m sure Alicia organised a fantastic birthday for him in South Africa. I expect she’s got something special planned for him this year too [emoji322][emoji177]

I think we actually got to “see” quite a bit of them that month. He’d been home the week before his birthday for his a 40th birthday party. I think we had pics of Michael and Alicia together about a week befor that. SXSW was the week before that again, I think, for Song to Song. Pearly has a much better memory than me so I’m sure she’ll correct me if I’m wrongDamn, was it only 6 months later!? That pic seems so long ago. And yes I do remember some comments at the time. Also if I remember he hadn’t been seen for some time before this, correct me if I’m wrong.
