Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on August 27, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Alexa Vega! Spy Kids' Carmen Cortez taught us all the basics of cool secret agent moves (and convinced us that our siblings could actually be handy sidekicks). Whether you were jetting around in flying spy vehicles or outsmarting ridiculous villains, your incredible charm and wit made every childhood memory cinematic gold. Seriously—where's Carmen when we accidentally lock ourselves out?

From your unforgettable adventures on screen to gracefully navigating new roles and motherhood off-screen, you've truly proven that you're talented both as an actress and a real-life superhero mom. May this next year bring exciting missions (minus evil masterminds), endless laughs, and memorable moments just like those iconic Spy Kids days.
