There’s just something special about couples who’ve been together forever. They seem to be so in tune with each other, they can practically read each other’s minds. Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, are definitely one of those couples.
After almost 30 years of marriage, Mark knows exactly what Kelly loves, so for her 54th birthday, he made sure to get her something that would make her smile – her absolute favorite treat!
Kelly couldn’t resist making a fun joke, saying, “Thank you, Carvel! Thank you for inventing Fudgie the Whale, which is the only reason I agree to turn older every year.”
Mark and Kelly: A Match Made in Heaven
Mark and Kelly’s love story started in 1995 on the set of All My Children, and just a year later, in 1996, they ran off and eloped. Fast forward 28 years, and they’re still going strong, raising three kids together: Michael, 26, Lola, 22, and Joaquin, 20. Staying married for that long takes a whole lot of love and teamwork, but Mark and Kelly make it look easy.
To celebrate Kelly’s birthday, Mark shared some adorable photos on Instagram and posted a sweet message with Madonna’s Addicted playing in the background. His message said, “Happy Birthday Sexy! I’m so glad you were born. What a beautiful sprint around the sun. The best is yet to come. P.S. I promise not to snore so much this year.”
Kelly’s response? A loving and funny, “Thank you, baby, excellent song choice.”
It wasn’t long before friends and fans flooded the comments with birthday wishes. Andy Cohen was quick to comment, “The Song!!! Happy birthday!”
One fan wrote, “Gorgeous!! Love you on the show, love you period!! Happy bday!”
Another fan had a fun response, saying, “Happiest Birthdays to you, Kelly! I promise not to snore as much to my husband! Have an awesome day! I love you so much!”
Kelly’s 54th birthday was a day filled with love, sweet treats, and a little humor about snoring. It’s clear that she’s surrounded by people who adore her, and this year looks like it’s off to a fantastic start.
