Loni Love Celebrates Naturi Naughton’s Birthday

Comedian and daytime talk-show host Loni Love marked the special day of singer and actress Naturi Naughton with a sweet Instagram tribute. In a heartfelt post on March 10, Love tagged @naturi4real and wrote, “A very Happy birthday to the sweet and talented singer and actress @naturi4real … Enjoy your day Boo boo!!!!!!!” The accompanying photo shows Loni beaming into the camera as she holds up a slice of birthday cake, her signature curls framing a warm smile.

Background On Loni Love’s Career

Love, born Toni Michelle Honeycutt, first rose to prominence after winning season eight of Last Comic Standing in 2010. A stand-up veteran, she earned her stripes opening for major acts before landing the co-host chair on the syndicated daytime show The Real in 2013. Over the past decade she’s proven equally at ease breaking down celebrity news, sharing lifestyle tips, and delivering punchlines.

Naturi Naughton’s Rise In Entertainment

Naturi Naughton, known to fans as @naturi4real, has built her career on both stage and screen. She gained early notice as a member of the Pussycat Dolls ensemble on Broadway’s The Women. Her music talents shone in R&B group 3LW, while her acting work includes roles in Notorious, Lee Daniels’ The Butler, and the hit series Power, where she plays Tasha St. Patrick. This birthday salute highlights the growing friendship between two multi-hyphenate talents.

Social Media Shout-outs

Love’s tribute follows a pattern of birthday greetings she regularly shares with her wide Instagram following. In late February, she took to Instagram to wish music legend Ron Isley a “Hugh Happy 84th birthday,” tagging @ronaldisley and adding, “Enjoy your day King!!!! Give him a hug from me @kandyisley.” That celebratory post drew hundreds of comments from fans and fellow entertainers alike.

On her feed, Love often combines humor with sincerity. From commenting on milestone dates to sharing backstage moments, she keeps followers in on both her professional projects and personal connections. Each shout-out reinforces her reputation as one of daytime television’s warmest personalities.

Fans Respond With Birthday Cheers

Naughton’s followers joined Love in the virtual celebration. Comments poured in, showering the Power actress with birthday cake and confetti emojis, along with messages like “Queen energy!” and “Love you both!” Several fans noted the pair’s shared background in music and television, praising how their careers have intersected over the years.

With more than one million followers on Instagram, Love’s post ensured Naughton’s birthday made headlines beyond her immediate circle. It also offered a reminder of how closely knit the entertainment community can be, even when stars work in different corners of film, TV, and music.

The birthday tribute arrives at a busy moment for Naughton, who is currently wrapping production on a new streaming drama set to premiere this summer. Meanwhile, Love continues hosting The Real, recently celebrating the show’s 10th anniversary with a series of live events and special guest appearances.

Love’s affectionate message to Naughton underscores the camaraderie that fuels Hollywood friendships. As fans hit “like” and leave animated comments, it’s clear that birthday greetings from beloved hosts can spread as much joy as on-screen performances.

Loni Love’s Instagram post will remain pinned on her feed, preserving this celebration for fans to revisit. And for Naturi Naughton, the warm wishes serve as yet another highlight in a career defined by talent, versatility, and the support of friends in high places.
