Mark Consuelos turns 54 today!
And while the All My Children alum has had the ladies swooning since his days on the hit soap back in the ’90s, no one has been a champion of his sexiness quite like wife, Kelly Ripa.
The lovebirds first met back in 1995 when he auditioned for his role as Mateo Santos on the hit soap and sparks immediately flew. They eloped in Las Vegas in 1996, following a brief breakup, but the two have been going strong since.
And while fans love their cheeky banter on Live with Kelly and Mark, even more hilarious are the thirsty comments Kelly often sends in her hubby’s direction. As Mark celebrates his 54th birthday, on March 30, 2025, let’s all commemorate by checking out every time Kelly Ripa left him a thirsty comment.
Baiting the Masses
Kelly Ripa was a professional at getting fans to watch Riverdale by posting “thirst trappy reminders” in the form of sexy pictures of her husband Mark Consuelos, who plays Hiram Lodge on the popular show.
Sexiest Man Forever
After reminding everyone to tune in, Kelly captioned this one, “π₯π₯π₯π₯ #daddy (sexiest man alive EVERY YEAR! Year after year!)”
Abs Galore
She thanked KJ Apa for taking this “thirst trap” of her husband flexing his muscles. “This thirst trap Friday has been brought to you by the letters K and J,” Ripa said. “Thanks @kjapa.”
She later revealed to PEOPLE that she never tires of this video because she knows he had to diet to get this ripped β and as she told him, “Now you know how it feels.”
Thirsty Throwback
Never forget the time that Kelly posted a throwback to 2007 and simply said, “Those hands.”
QTNA
She captioned this Riverdale still, “How come I’ve never seen anything like this at my gym?” Fair question, Kelly. We’re wondering the same thing!
Sunkissed
Ripa captioned this vacation shot, “Not a bad view in sight. #daddy #dadbod #nofilter π₯π₯π΄π΄”
No. 1 Fan
Kelly is truly Mark’s biggest hype woman. She captioned this photo of her husband smolduring, “WARNING! This post is NOT for the easily triggered. #daddy#daddy #daddy π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯”
(Do you think she is talking about Lola when she mentions being easily triggered?)
Making Waves
We can’t blame her for wanting to see Mark Consuelos shirtless. Kelly took this candid photo of her husband in the sea, for which we’d like to personally thank her.
Clean Cut
Sometimes we think Kelly posts these photos just so that she can use the hashtag, #daddy.
Keeping Fit
Couples yoga gets frisky when these two are involved.
Daddy’s home
Kelly got so excited for her husband to be home that she captioned this photo, “the RIGHT kind of surprise! ππβ€οΈπ¦ #daddyshome”
Always and Forever
There was that time she used the word “scintillating” to describe him. She wrote on Instagram “@instasuelos always scintillating……..always shirtless.”
Enjoying the Ride
Kelly got as close to NSFW as she could get when she captioned a birthday post to Mark, “You’re a human roller coaster that luckily I’m tall enough to ride.”
Big Hat Energy
Things got a little risquΓ© with this cheeky pic that exhibits a lot of “big hat energy” as Kelly puts it.
Keeping it Classic
It’s the smoldering eyes and the hand in the shirt for us β and for Kelly, who calls this pic “classic Mark.”
Sexy at All Times
Kelly turned tragedy into thirst trap when she posted this fire pic of Mark dripping in sweat after an apparent AC malfunction. (As she recalls, he was “potentially yelling at one of our kids,” but “I thought he looked really hot, so I took a photo.”)
Kelly Classic
Kelly revealed this was supposed to be a solo shot, but Mark made it a very sexy photobomb instead.
All the Right Angles
A sight for sore eyes indeed.
Seeing the Light

This one was… ahem… cheekily captured, “When the end is in sightβ¦β¦π.”
Say Yes to the Leather

Leather pants may be a faux pas for some, but they were a resounding yes for Ripa, as reflected on Mark’s sexy in this throwback. “#fbf VINTAGE @instasuelos Suprise 30th birthday party. Shoutout to his leather pants and bangs! πππ₯π₯(and yes, Iβm pregnant) #daddycool”
Binding Love

“Happy Halloween to The Sexiest Host Alive And Undead @instasuelos β°οΈπ»ππππ¦ππ½ 20 spooky pics all trick, no treat!” Ripa wrote.
Off the Shelf

If we published a book, this is how it should be promoted. Ripa used this hot pic to plug her friend Gary Janetti’s book and needless to say, it was an instant New York Times Bestseller.
