Michael Consuelos Shared a Comical Throwback with Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa and We Can’t Believe We Missed It

There's nothing we love quite like a good throwback, and recently, Kelly Ripa's family has been treating us to all kinds of vintage pics.

While the Live with Kelly and Ryan host uploaded a number of noteworthy throwbacks this past week, we just recently noticed that her eldest son, Michael Consuelos, posted quite the comical throwback to his own account back in March.

The photo features Michael with him mom, as well as his dad, Mark Consuelos, and he looks to be around 5 years old. In the snap, Michael is being held up by his parents, and he sports a pirate hat with Captain Hook on the center, as well as a fake hook on his right hand. However, while we're unsure what the context is behind the photo, the best part is young Michael's distressed expression. In his caption, he said, “90% sure this wasn’t even Halloween.”

To draw even more attention to his comical expression, Michael included another photo in the slideshow, where he zoomed in really close on his face.

Besides the fact that Michael is super young in the picture, his parents also look totally different, and we can see that the shot was taken when Ripa was sporting more auburn locks as opposed to the blonde 'do we're used to seeing her with now.

In the comments, users showed how much they enjoyed the photo, like one person who said, “Love this,” or another who wrote, “Super cute.” One even pointed out Michael's similarity to his dad at that age, saying, “You look just like your dad!”

While we can't believe we didn't see this when Michael first posted it, we're sure glad we caught it now.
