While El Moussa’s special day is Monday, the couple have been celebrating all weekend.

On Sunday, Anstead, who currently stars on Discovery’sWheeler Dealers,posted a video of him letting her know they were going on a surprise getaway, noting “you only need a bikini,” as they set out on the trip in a convertible.

“It’s @christinaelmoussa birthday weekend. So I’ve planned a few surprises. Oh she’s so so so nosey!!,” he captioned the video, adding, “Happy birthday to the single most amazing lady (now just sit back and chill…) xxx love you.”

On Monday, he shared a gallery of photos of the pair enjoying a romantic dinner, video chatting on a plane, putting on face masks, and grinning and laughing with one another.

The couple met through a mutual friend and started dating in November 2017 despite El Moussa’s initial reservations, she tells PEOPLE. “I was definitely not looking to meet anyone. I remember saying, ‘No matter what, I’m not dating anyone for a year, and don’t let anyone near me.”

But after one date, the pair had an “instant connection” and have been inseparable ever since.

And El Moussa is on the same page. “I can see myself getting married to him,” Christina says in this week’s issue of PEOPLE. “He’s so down-to-earth, and we have so much in common. We basically do the same thing, so he gets what my world is like, and he’s just rolled with the punches and handled everything so well.”
