"Birthday vaca w/ friends," the actress later added, along with a slew of photos taken from her birthday festivities. One photo posted to Instagram featured the beach at sunset, while another post revealed the outdoor party décor of Thiessen's party.
In another, Thiessen shared a photo of herself with her husband of nine years.
"My favorite guy #birthdayweekend #im40 #beachsunset," the actress wrote in the caption.
Thiessen portrayed Kelly Kapowski on "Saved By the Bell" alongside Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley, among others. The beloved series ran from 1989 to 1993. Thiessen's many posts about her 40th birthday struck fans as shocking since many viewed the actress as the teenaged love interest of Gosselaar's famed character, Zack Morris.
"How am I old enough for this to be true? #savedbythebell," Maggie posted to Twitter after retweeting, "Tiffani Thiessen Celebrates Her 40th Birthday in Mexico."
InStyle magazine posted, "How time flies! @TAThiessen turns 40 today, and is looking better than ever."
Andrea wrote, "How is Kelly Kapowski forty?? She looks the same as she did in Saved by the Bell!"
Meanwhile, Thiessen and her husband, a fellow actor, married in July of 2005. They share a daughter, 3-year-old Harper. The former "Beverly Hills: 90210" actress often shares photos of her daughter in Instagram, including last year's photo of Harper in a Spider-Man costume.
Thiessen is not the only Hollywood celebrity to share family photos on social media. The actress' "90210" co-star Tori Spelling is also active online and frequently shares photos of her four children. Jessica Simpson, Gisele Bundchen and Beyonce are also known to regularly share photos of their offspring.
