They say it’s the little things that make all the difference, and Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are clearly masters of that. On Sunday, March 30, Consuelos celebrated his 54th birthday and, of course, his wife took to social media to give him a shoutout. Because what’s a birthday without a little online love, right?

Ripa kicked off the post with a sweet montage of Consuelos looking effortlessly cool while golfing at some beautiful, palm tree-filled courses. If that wasn’t enough to make you wish you were there, she followed up with a snapshot of the couple looking seriously stylish. Ripa was rocking a cream silky pant and shirt combo with a green and blue floral design, while Consuelos was all about that laid-back, sophisticated vibe in navy linen pants and a tan top.

“Let’s wish a happy birthday to my favorite golfer @instasuelos. Long may he stump us,” Ripa captioned the post, using that lighthearted humor that’s a signature of their relationship.

Of course, the comments were flooded with birthday well wishes for the Riverdale alum, but it was Consuelos’ response that really gave all the warm and fuzzies. Keeping it flirty and to the point, he commented, “Thank you sexy.”

But hey, the love is definitely a two-way street. Consuelos made sure to return the favor when Ripa turned 54 last October. He posted a beautiful tribute to her full of throwback pics, all set to Madonna’s “Addicted.” “Happy Birthday Sexy! I’m so glad you were born. What a beautiful sprint around the sun. The best is yet to come,” he wrote in the caption. “P.S. I promise not to snore so much this year.”

And Ripa’s response? Classic. “Thank you baby, excellent song choice.” The mutual adoration is real, y’all.

The couple tied the knot in 1996 after a proposal during a date night, followed by a quick elopement in Las Vegas. Less than a year later, they welcomed their first child, Michael, and soon after came daughter Lola in 2001 and son Joaquin in 2003. Fast forward nearly three decades of marriage and it’s clear that the love between Ripa and Consuelos hasn't died down.
