Happy 22nd Birthday Bella Swan!

Published Sunday, September 13, 2009 3:00 AM ET

Happy 22nd Birthday Bella Swan!

She's got the coolest (literally!) guy on earth and the hottest (again, literally!) guy BFF ever! As jealous as we are of her, we still love Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan (Spoiler alert: turned Bella Cullen)... and today's her birthday (no, not Kristen Stewart's... the character of Bella!) She was technically born on September 13, 1987, making today her 22nd birthday!

Fun Facts:
- Her high school prom dress was based on one from 2003's Paris Fashion Week that was light yellow.
- Bella's move to Forks, Washington, was modeled after editor Stephenie Meyer's real-life move from high school to college.
- She had a part-time job at Newton's Olympic Outfitters.
- Bella has stubby fingernails because she has a nervous habit of biting them!

Post your birthday messages for Bella below!

Happy Birthday Bella! Hope Nessie's doing well, and Jakes not getting too weird yet. Try not to bite him, that could be bad.

AND I HOPE U SPEND THIS DAY WITH UR VAMP. FAM. AND UR REG. FAM.!!!!!AND EDWARD AND JACOB!!!!!TELL THEM I SAID HI!!!!!
P.S.I'M TWILIGHT'S #1 FAN!!!!!

RoseWeasley on September 13, 2009 7:43 PM

I'm not a Twilight fan, but I'm glad she goes by Bella instead of Isabella. I think Kristen's the best out of the entire cast. Don't forget Hermione Jean Granger's birthday on Saturday, September 19th! She turns 30, and she's the oldest of the trio! Her actress is 19-year-old Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (she's French and British).

RoseWeasley on September 13, 2009 7:55 PM

TALK ABOUT JAMIE CAMBELL BOWER OR HOWEVER THE SECOND WORD IN HIS NAME IS SPELT! HE'S PLAYING GELLERT GRINDELWALD IN HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!!!! He's Dumbledore's love interest, hehehehe. Did all of you know that Dumbledore is gay?

ruhina on September 13, 2009 8:00 PM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLA!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH
MAY YOU GET ALL THE HAPPINESS IN LIFE!!!

charlotte101 on September 13, 2009 9:21 PM
