The two guys were apparently born just one day apart from each other.
"Two of my favorite guys had big bdays! Benjamin turned 30 yesterday and has been my greatest surprise and blessing," Jessica wrote of her boyfriend, who went public with their romance about one month ago.
"Baby Philip turns 21 today and has been my best friend and little brother since forever. My heart is just overflowing, what a weekend."
Since announcing their relationship in February, the couple hasn't been shy about expressing their feelings for each other on Instagram.
At the time, Jessica gushed on social media about how Ben "has one of the biggest hearts and kindest spirits." And Ben has said Jessica is an "incredible" person with a pure soul.
Ben first revealed he's in a new relationship in January on his The Ben and Ashley I. Almost Famous Podcast featuring Ashley Iaconetti, but he chose not to identify Jessica as the woman in his life right away.
Several weeks later, the Season 20 The Bachelor star introduced Jessica, a 23-year-old Nashville resident and recent University of Mississippi graduate who reportedly sells LED lighting for a living, to the world, when the cute couple also went Instagram official.

Ben said he first saw Jessica by stumbling across her Instagram profile when looking for posts about a Nashville hockey game.
Ben acknowledged he was taken with her beauty and decided to direct message her around the time of Thanksgiving 2018.

Jessica reportedly answered Ben's message, and then in December 2018, Ben flew her to Denver, CO, so they could meet face-to-face.
Ben and Jessica are making a long-distance relationship work by FaceTiming often and utilizing good communication skills.
This marks the Generous Coffee co-founder's first public relationship since his engagement to Lauren Bushnell, which aired on The Bachelor finale in 2016.
Ben and Lauren broke up in May 2017, and he only entered one brief and private relationship before meeting Jessica, according to Entertainment Tonight.
