Throwback Thursday Gets Romantic

Every now and then, we all love a little throwback magic, right? Well, Kelly Ripa did just that by sharing a romantic photo with her husband, Mark Consuelos, on Instagram. The couple was all smiles and smooches at the premiere of The Great Raid back in 2005. This wasn't just any old picture—it was a blast from the past filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of nostalgia.

As Kelly captioned the photo, "Missn’ this kissn’ (and this dress)," fans were treated to a glimpse of the timeless romance between the couple. The image shows Kelly, looking stunning in a skin-tight satin dress, wrapped in Mark's arms as he lovingly places his hand around her waist. It’s the kind of moment that reminds us why these two are one of Hollywood's most beloved couples.

Mark Strikes Back with Some Flirty Comments

Mark, always the charmer, couldn’t resist joining in on the fun. In the comments section, he playfully replied, "Hand," along with four black heart emojis. Not one to let a good flirtation go unanswered, Kelly quipped back, "I miss the hand too." These little exchanges between the couple are what keep their fans coming back for more. It’s the perfect blend of humor, love, and a touch of sass.

Family Reactions: Love, Laughter, and a Dash of Drama

Flirty moments between parents can sometimes leave their kids feeling a little... awkward. In February, Kelly shared a hilarious clip of herself lifting her 2020 Oscars gown to reveal producer Albert Bianchini hiding underneath. Mark, ever the comedian, commented, "Been there..." But their teenage daughter, Lola Consuelos, wasn’t amused. "Absolutely repulsive," she chimed in, proving that even the most loving families have their fair share of playful teasing.

Then, in October 2019, Kelly took things to the next level by sharing a bedroom selfie with Mark. In the caption, she joked about promoting Mark's work on Riverdale by teasing, "This is your thirst trappy reminder to watch an all NUDE #riverdale TONIGHT on @thecwriverdale 8/7 central." While the post garnered over 147,000 likes, Lola had some strong feelings about it. "That’s disgusting," she joked. But hey, that's just family dynamics for you—full of love, laughter, and the occasional eye-roll.

The Wisdom of Lola

When it comes to navigating life in the public eye, Lola has some sage advice for her mom. She encouraged Kelly to stop engaging with online critics. "I just don’t even think you should give them the time of day," Lola said. "I mean these people are sitting at home wishing they were you." It's clear that Lola has a great perspective on life, and Kelly agreed, saying, "You’re always wiser than I am." Sometimes, the best advice comes from the people who know us best—our kids.
