So, these four TV stars just formed our new favorite girl gang

Just when we thought we knew about every girl gang out there, another one pops up. But it turns out, this one’s been flying under the radar for a while now. This squad consists of four of our favorite TV stars: Debra Messing, Mariska Hargitay, Connie Britton, and Sophia Bush. And they just went public.

Last week, Messing received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Naturally, the whole squad came to help her celebrate.

“[I] never [dreamed this could happen],” Messing told Entertainment Tonight. “I grew up next to a farm in Rhode Island. My big dream was to be a working actress and ultimately to do Broadway in New York City. I’ve fulfilled all of my dreams, and today… it’s going to take me a long time to process this. It’s so, so beautiful.”

We can definitely see Messing’s excitement in this photo.

And this picture of Messing and her girl gang — Britton, Hargitay, and Bush — gives us all the feels.

Judging by the pics they post on social media, Messing and her girl gang have been friends for a while.

For instance, you’ve probably already seen BFFs Messing and Hargitay all over each other’s Instagram accounts.

Look who came to her very first taping!! Just giddy to have my girl here. My heart is full. @therealmariskahargitay #nbcdames #womensupportingwomen #NYinthehouse

They even celebrated the 4th of July together.

Happy 4th of July!!! Celebrating our hard won Independence. Honored to be an American. @therealmariskahargitay

All we have to say here is: We’re glad we’re not the only ones whose pictures sometimes don’t turn out the way we thought they would.

This is what we call an Epic Fail. #wetried @therealmariskahargitay

However, all four women appear to hang out together at various times. Here are Bush and Britton hanging in Marfa, TX.

Marfa. Music. My humans. What an adventure #TransPecos

Happy birthday to this angel baby and soul sister! #goodnessandlight #SiAqui

Other nights, they go to “prom” together…

About last night. #Nerdprom with my longstanding #WHCD dates, @sophiabush, @jedidiahjenkins and @azitaloves. And the last with Obama, who closed it with a literal, well-deserved mic drop. Thank you @barackobama. You have served us well, and managed to be funny and human while doing it. We will miss you.

In a word: Amazing.

Patience Jacob. Awa Abughe. These are the names of the 2 Nigerian girls acknowledged last night at the astonishing #Eclipsed on Broadway. They, along with their schoolmates in Chibok, were abducted by the Boko Haram, and have been missing for 765 days. Amazingly today we are getting a report of the first girl found since the abduction. She is traumatized and pregnant. But free. Read about it here. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2016/05/18/world/africa/ap-af-nigeria-kidnapped-girls.html?ref=world And thank you to the incredible cast of @eclipsedbway for giving girls like these a face, a name, humanity. #knowhername #bringbackourgirls

Hargitay adoringly expressed her love for Messing at the Walk of Fame ceremony in an emotional, teary-eyed speech.

“To me, pretty much 95 percent of friendship, possibly more, is just showing up, just being there — and Debra Messing could hold a seminar on showing up,” Hargitay said of Messing, according to ET. “I cannot tell you how deeply I admire your fierceness. What a bright, precious, important, beautiful, loyal, multifaceted, enduring light that you have been — and you are — in my life and lives of so many people.”

We could not love this loving, supportive girl gang more!
