Hollywood power couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are celebrating 24 years of marriage.

In light of their anniversary, the Live with Kelly and Ryan star and Riverdale actor took to their own Instagram pages on Friday to gush about each other. Kelly’s post included a music-filled slideshow of adorable throwback photos of the pair (some of which included their three kids—Lola, Michael, and Joaquin).

“Happy Anniversary to the love of my life, or at least half my life @instasuelos cheers to 24 years! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️,” Kelly wrote alongside the video. In the comment section, Mark lovingly penned, “♥️♥️♥️I love you Kelly de Consuelos ❤️❤️❤️.”

As for Mark’s post, he shared a close-up picture of his hands with his arms wrapped around Kelly. His caption read, “Making a life, sharing a history, holding you close for 24 years. I love you @kellyripa.” Right away, Kelly commented, “Those arms ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️thank you for the TLC for all these years.”

Looking at the PDA-filled Instagram posts, Kelly and Mark’s fans could clearly feel the love between them. “Happy 24th Anniversary to a beautiful loving couple💖💙🌹🌹,” one fan wrote. “One of my fav couples. Beautiful couple...Happy Anniversary! Blessings for many more,” another said. Meanwhile, a different fan commented, “Love is grand isn’t it[?] Congratulations ⚡️.”

Kelly and Mark first met on the set of All My Children. Five years after Kelly landed the role of Hayley in the soap opera, Mark came on the show in 1995 to portray Hayley’s husband, Mateo Santos. The actors ended up eloping and tying the knot soon after in Las Vegas on May 1, 1996.

Though the two are often busy with their different projects (Kelly on Live with Kelly and Ryan and Mark with Riverdale), they always try to make each other a priority.

“I’m crazy about my wife," Mark told Fox News in 2019. “We both come from families, our parents are still together—family is super important to us. We have three great kids and that also bonds you—having that experience together.”

“She’s also really patient and really tolerant,” he added. “I think that’s a big key to the success of our long [marriage].”

That, and a good sense of humor, which both definitely seem to have. Social media followers of Kelly and Mark know that the two are hilarious online, whether they’re embarrassing their kids and posting risqué comments on each other’s posts, like Kelly calling Mark “Daddy.” It’s all in the name of good fun and a clear sign that Kelly and Mark are still head over heels, even after all these years.
