Ty Pennington surprised his HGTV fans and colleagues with how old he turned on his latest birthday.

The Rock the Block host celebrated his birthday on Monday, October 19. He commemorated the occasion with an Instagram birthday tribute to himself, writing, “Well somehow I made it another year around the sun! Woke up 62 today and boy that feels weird as heck to say out loud.”

In the comments, fans and celebrities couldn’t believe Pennington had turned 62. “Happy Birthday, Friend! Looking as sharp as ever! Wishing you your best year of life ahead yet!” wrote Vern Yip. Pennington’s Battle on the Beach Season 5 teammate Sydney Lorence said, “THE OG! Happy birthday my friend!!!”

Genevieve Gorder gushed, “Happy birthday love.” Jasmine Roth jokingly questioned, “But like HOW!?!?”

One fan wrote, “Happy Birthday Ty! You’re winning at the aging game!” Another added, “Happy birthday, Ty! You don’t look a day over 42 or act a day over 22..lol. Have a great year ahead!!” Someone else shared, “Have the best Birthday, Ty! Yes it is weird to get to our 60’s and say it out loud, but how great to make it!? It a wonderful privilege.”

A different person posted, “Happpppy born day friend! Ya don’t look a day over 40. enjoy the dayyy!!!” A separate commenter stated, “Been around since your Trading Spaces days! Can’t believe how fast time flies. Happy birthday Ty!” One user shared, “Happy birthday. You don’t look a day over 40!!”
