Mark Consuelos Just Posted a Romantic Throwback Photo with His ‘Wifey’ Kelly Ripa

When it comes to Mark Consuelos, there’s one thing we know for sure: He never gets tired of posting photos of his wife, Kelly Ripa. And he needs no special occasion to do so.

On Thursday, the 49-year-old actor shared a sweet throwback of himself and the Live with Kelly and Ryan co-host on his personal Instagram Story. The snap features the couple on what looks to be a vacation, standing in front of a gorgeous sunset while Consuelos kisses his wife on the head. “#TBT,” he captioned the pic alongside a handful of heart emojis. “@KellyRipa WIFEY.” Of course, it wasn’t long before the 50-year-old reposted the image to her personal Instagram account.

The post comes exactly one week after Ripa celebrated her 50th birthday. In honor of the milestone, Consuelos shared a special tribute on social media. The slideshow featured never-before-seen portraits of the All My Children alum, posing in a white, floral gown on a bed of green grass. “Happy birthday to my little ray of sunshine. I love you, sexy..” he wrote alongside a sun emoji. Not to mention, he also sent her a beautiful bouquet of flowers and made a surprise, virtual appearance on her morning show.

The Riverdale star is currently spending a few months in Vancouver to film his hit CW series and was unable to spend Ripa’s birthday with her in person. Perhaps the distance is one reason why Consuelos has been sharing pics and tributes of his wife more than usual (although, he seems to share almost as much when the duo are in the same state).

Either way, we never get tired of heartfelt posts from these two.
