Ava Cantrell Marks 22nd Birthday in Sunny Instagram Celebration

Milestone Moment

On June 7, actress and Muay Thai fighter Ava Cantrell rang in her 22nd year with a sun-soaked Instagram carousel. Captioned “Another trip around the sun☀️#birthdaygirl,” the series of seven images showed Cantrell beaming in casual chic separates: breezy tanks, denim shorts and airy sundresses. A few snaps featured handwritten signs, pastel balloons and a slice of cake topped with flickering candles. Within hours, fans, friends and fellow performers flooded the comments with birthday wishes.

Embracing Her Gemini Season

The June‐born star—herself a Gemini—has long celebrated her zodiac energy online. Just days before her birthday, Cantrell posted a fashion-forward snap under the caption “Gemini Season ♊ #june #junebaby,” pairing a green-hued mini dress with retro sunglasses. That post, which tagged @staud, underscored her knack for blending star power with style. On her birthday carousel, she continued the trend, mixing beach-ready looks with sunlit smiles that capture both summer’s warmth and twin-ruled enthusiasm.

From Screen To Ring

Cantrell first caught attention with supporting roles on television and voice-over work, according to her Wikipedia profile. In 2023, she earned praise for her lead performance in the horror thriller Abigail, completing many of her own stunts. Off camera, her passion for martial arts runs equally deep. An avid Muay Thai practitioner, she has documented training sessions at Sevenspear’s gym and friendly sparring matches. In an April post for @athenafightwear, Cantrell shared action shots captioned “Red is the color of passion and pain ❤️‍🔥,” tagging trainers, fight leagues and photographers who capture her in full fight gear. She also offered her followers an exclusive discount code, AVAATHENA, supporting women athletes in combat sports.

Beyond the ring, the performer has embraced roles that challenge gender norms. She’s worked with KO Studios, a boxing brand aimed at empowering women in male-dominated sports. Her Instagram is peppered with behind-the-scenes glimpses: mitt drills, pad work and strength sessions, all reinforcing a commitment to athleticism and resilience.

Looking Ahead

As Cantrell heads into her 23rd year, she’s poised for more projects on both screen and canvas. Her recent film credits include indie dramas and voice roles for animated features, and she’s expected to balance acting commitments with upcoming Muay Thai tournaments. In interviews, she’s spoken about mentoring younger fighters and exploring choreography for future action roles. On her birthday, she thanked fans for their support and teased a “big announcement soon”—hinting at new collaborations or competition plans.

By combining creative ambition with combat discipline, Ava Cantrell continues to carve out a unique path. Her birthday post wasn’t just a celebration of another year, but a reminder of the many arenas—film sets, fight gyms and social feeds—where she thrives. Fans can expect more sunny snapshots, knockout performances and genuine moments from the rising talent as she embarks on this next trip around the sun.
