Amanda Bynes gives shoutout to 'best friend' Liam Poulsen: 'I love you more than anything babe!'

Amanda Bynes is "so grateful" for her best friend.
The 38-year-old star retired from acting in 2010 following a spate of mental health struggles and since being released from a conservatorship that was governed by her parents, she has been working towards earning a manicurist license so she can start up her new career.
On Wednesday (08.05.24), the former child actress shared a screenshot of a text message conversation with her friend Liam Poulsen and captioned the post: "So grateful for my best friend @liampoulsen"
In the first message, the friend of the 'Amanda Show' star noted that he was having a "good day" as she geared up to go to an appointment.
He wrote: "My day is going good just super busy so far. On my way to a doctors appointment with Tyson and then we are going to a meeting."
She replied: "Nice".
In further messages that were exchanged on Tuesday evening, the two friends wished each other a good night.
He wrote: "I love you so much, have a great night."
Amanda replied: "I love you more than anything, babe. Have a blessed night" and emblazoned her message with a white heart emoji
The initial screenshot came from Liam's phone, but the 'Hairspray' star shared it to her own Instagram Story for her almost-half a million followers to see.
She wrote on the screenshot: "True friends are everything!"
Just weeks ago, the two friends were seen enjoying dinner together.
Liam wrote on Instagram: "Dinner date"
In December last year, Amanda - who split from her fiancee Paul Michael in July 2022 after three years together - landed her own podcast but pulled the plug on it after just one episode having decided to pursue a more steady job.
At the time, she wrote on Instagram: "Amanda wrote on her Instagram Story: “The 1st episode of my podcast did really well.. I was actually surprised and of course was going to keep going after friends encouraged me to..
“After thinking about it, though, I would rather get my manicurist license and have a consistent job.
“I’m going to follow that path instead. Thank you for following my journey!”
