Fans of Storm Reid and Natalia Bryant just realized the two celebrities are roommates during their first year as students at the University of Southern California, and their friendship is the cutest thing to see online. The Euphoria star shared a heartwarming birthday post for her roommate a month ago and the photo recently resurfaced online.
"NANI! NAE NAE! NAENAESTER! It’s your 19thhhh! Happy birthday to the most beautiful spirit in the world. The brightest smile and the kindest heart. The funniest person," Reid wrote in the caption. "The best rommie a girl could ask for. So grateful for you. So glad we get to do life & school together! I love youuuuu!"
Natalia's mother, Vanessa Bryant, commented under the post to add an emphatic "So cute!!!!!!!!" Zaya Wade also sent her love with several purple heart emojis.
After rediscovering the post, fans took to Twitter to gush over their friendship.
I love seeing Natalia having a relatively normal life đ I always prayed a little harder for her being now the eldest, with a really young sister and grieving mother. It could've been a huge burden to keep everyone afloat through it. But also Vanessa seems to deal with it well đ

As Blavity previously
reported, the two college students shared their USC acceptance letters around the same time last March.
"I’ve been on set allllllll day, and I wanted to wait to get home to open this. Was a ball of nerves all day. I got my first college acceptance two weeks ago, but I’ve been waiting on this one for a hot minute. WE GOT INTO USC BABY," Reid said at the time.
Vanessa congratulated her daughter for the accomplishment with a sweet caption mentioning her late father and sister, Kobe and Gigi Bryant.
"Tears of joy. I’m SO happy for you Nani! I know daddy is so PROUD OF YOU. I am so PROUD OF YOU!! Your hard work and dedication was so worth it," Vanessa said. "You pushed through the most excruciating pain imaginable and you succeeded. I wish Daddy and Gigi were physically here to celebrate but I know they’re here in spirit. We love you so much!"
People online showed their support for the famous friendship with kind words.
