It’s not just the weather that’s heating things up! On Thursday, March 12, Kelly Ripa took a trip down memory lane by sharing a throwback photo from her Italian vacation with husband Mark Consuelos on Instagram. Instead of showcasing breathtaking scenery, Kelly opted for a steamy pic of her husband lounging poolside, shirt off, and looking as good as ever.

"#Tbt. Last summer in Puglia. Something to look at other than that bottle of hand sanitizer," the 52-year-old joked in the caption, referencing the growing concern over hand hygiene during the coronavirus pandemic. It was a lighthearted way to bring a smile to her followers’ faces while also reminding everyone to stay safe.

Reactions Pour In as Fans Celebrate Mark's Good Looks

The picture quickly gained traction, racking up over 112,000 likes. But this isn’t the first time Kelly has celebrated her husband’s physique on social media.

Back on February 26, Kelly shared another steamy video of Mark working out, captioning it, “How about a little #workoutmotivation for the extremely thirsty.” She added flame and splashing sweat emojis for good measure, along with the hashtag, “daddy,” a playful nod to her fans. Clearly, Kelly isn’t shy about expressing her admiration for her husband, and her followers love it.

The Secret to Their Long-Lasting Love

For Kelly and Mark, it’s not just about physical attraction—it’s about the deep connection they’ve built over the years. In a February interview with People, Kelly opened up about their enduring relationship. “We encourage each other,” she explained. “I hate when people say this — because it sounds so cliché — but we are best friends, and we love each other and like each other. We’ve got these beautiful, amazing kids, and we feel very fortunate to have found each other in this great big world.”

Mark echoed her sentiments, telling Fox News, “I’m crazy about my wife. It’s nice to be married to your best friend. … She’s also really patient and really tolerant. I think that’s a big key to the success of our long marriage. We’ve been married forever!” Their love story is a testament to the power of mutual respect and support, proving that true love can withstand the test of time.
