TIGER King’s Dillon Passage surprised Too Hot to Handle’s Bryce Hirschberg during his wild boat party celebrating his 30th birthday.
Joe Exotic’s 24-year-old husband joined the oceanfront bash aboard the Netflix star’s vessel in Los Angeles, California.
Accompanied by a group of Bryce’s friends, the pair documented the soiree on their Instagram Stories over Memorial Day Weekend.
The reality stars both wore backwards hats and board shorts as they sat side-by-side and flashed big grins.
In another clip, the duo danced near the front of the boat as Bryce put his arm around his new friend.
Dillon – who has been married to Tiger King’s Joseph “Joe Exotic” Maldonado-Passage, 57, since 2017 – also gave the TV star a kiss on the cheek.
The former zoo worker said on an Instagram Story: “Birthday boy. The man, the myth, the legend! Marina Del Rey, b***hes.”
Too Hot to Handle’s Harry Jowsey – who is still dating cast mate Francesca Farago – also attended his co-star’s birthday party.
As for how the unexpected pairing came about, a rep for Bryce told People: “Dillion's manager is the same as Harry and Frankie's from Too Hot To Handle.
“And Dillon and Bryce became friends through them and connected via Instagram.
“Now that Dillon is in Los Angeles, him and Bryce have been hanging out as both are fans of each other's shows.
“Dillon actually surprised Bryce at his birthday party… that wasn't planned,” the rep said.
Fans slammed the group for mingling so closely together in a large group despite LA currently still enforcing stay-at-home orders for residents.
Those who attended the event were also not wearing masks or staying six feet apart.
However, the rep defended the partygoers: “They had 15 people on the boat at a time max.
“With people switching on and off throughout the day while having someone clean and do temperature checks before boarding.
“Everyone else hung out on the dock and beach area. Bryce made sure to have his birthday over the course of two days so that everyone could attend and enjoy time on the boat.”
Despite the backlash, Bryce gushed about his weekend of fun in the sun in an Instagram post on Monday.
“I just wanted to say I love you and thank you for all the birthday love.
“I had an amazing weekend with my amazing family and friends and it was nice just to feel love.
“I felt a lot of love and I owe you guys for that. I appreciate it more than you guys know.”
He added that he’s “feeling it right now” before admitting to being “a little hungover.”
