He continued: "Babe, thank you. I'm grateful for you on so many levels, you're just the most joyful, funny, deep, sexy AF person on the planet, you're my person. You're my person. And I love you so much for loving me all the way here."

Following the festivities, Kodjoe told PEOPLE he was "still in a daze from all the love" from his friends and family who helped him celebrate the occasion.

"I have no idea how Nicole managed to get my favorite people there from all over the world," he raved. "I haven't eaten so well, danced so hard and laughed so much in my life. I don't think anyone actually left. They might still be on the dance floor. My heart is full, I'm so grateful. I love 50!"
