In most instances, birthdays are a cause for celebration, but this isn’t the case for Ruby Rose. Writing on her Instagram story in 2023, the actor shared that she doesn’t celebrate her birthday and has not done so for some time (via Daily Mail). The day before her 37th birthday, they shared: “If you have followed me for long enough, you’ll know I don’t acknowledge tomorrow. I don’t celebrate that day … so please leave it for me this year.” After this, Rose disappeared from social media for several days. It’s not clear why the “Batwoman” star doesn’t celebrate their birthday, but her post implied a long-time disdain for her birthday, which could be linked to traumatic events from her childhood.
As Rose has a history of mental health issues, her post and subsequent online absence terrified her 22.8 million followers and the actor sparked fears for their safety and wellbeing. However, she returned to social media less than 24 hours later, revealing that she’d spent her birthday at a dog shelter and urged her fans to adopt if they were able.
