Duff Goldman is sharing gratitude for his wife, Johnna, with a heartfelt birthday tribute.
“Man, I got the best one,” the famed pastry chef began the caption to an Instagram post on Tuesday, June 10.
“Happy birthday @johnnapgoldman,” he continued. “I’d be adrift without you. I love seeing our daughter become a mini version of you because I can’t imagine a better person for her to figure out life with.”
The couple, who tied the knot in 2019, share a 4-year-old daughter, Josephine.
“You’re doing so much better than you give yourself credit for,” the Food Network star went on. “The fact that you’re as fine as you are is just gravy. 😏 I love you muffin.”

The Kids Baking Championship host recently shared the story behind his family’s fuzzy new pets.
“So 30 days ago a friend said there were some duck eggs in their yard and no mommy duck and would Josephine like to see the eggs before they got eaten by a bear or bobcat or something,” he wrote in an Instagram post on May 28. “So I went and got an incubator and watched 30 hours of duck egg husbandry on YouTube and two days ago they hatched.”
The Ace of Cakes star then noted that his wife is “now a duck mommy.”
“We started with 10 eggs and 9 of them hatched,” he continued. “There is absolutely nothing like watching a 4 year old little girl play with 9 baby ducks in a bathtub. 🦆”
Johnna also weighed in on the family’s introduction to the fowl, commenting on the post, “This has been such a magical experience. You’re the best Duck Daddy 😍”
