One said: “I’m so shocked. Thought you were in your 30s.”
A second wrote: “Happy birthday. Wow, 41? She’d pass for 31!”
“I’m 39 and look older than you,” joked a third fan.
While a fourth commented: “Love Maria, [she has] been in it for almost as long as I have watched I think and she still looks like a teenager. Happy birthday Samia”.
Samia previously wowed fans as she posed in a bikini while some time away in the sun with her husband Sylvain Longchambon and son Yves, 7.
She took a selfie while tucking into a pina colada with a sun hat on.
Samia opted for a black bikini and large shades for the snap, as well as a straw sun hat.
