Happy birthday, Mark Consuelos!
The actor celebrated his 54th birthday on Sunday, March 30, and wife Kelly Ripa marked the occasion with a loving, sports-themed tribute — rather than a sexy or silly one the couple has become known for sharing.
“Let’s wish a happy birthday to my favorite golfer @instasuelos,” Ripa, 54, wrote in the caption of her tribute to her Live with Kelly and Mark cohost.
“Long may he stump us,” she continued, adding an array of emojis: “🎉🎉✨✨⛳️🏌️.”
Mark also got some birthday love from his daughter Lola Consuelos on his special day. (He and Ripa are also parents to sons Michael Consuelos and Joaquin Consuelos.)
“Happy birthday to my hero and the most important man in the whole entire world!” Lola, 23, wrote alongside a throwback photo of the pair on a boat. “I love you soooo much XOXOXOXOX.”
Ryan Seacrest, who previously hosted Live! with Ripa before his departure in 2023 — leading to Consuelos taking over — shared a photo of the duo showing off their muscles. “Another year, another reminder that @instasuelos is aging in reverse. Happy birthday, pal. Take a day off and have some cake — you’ve earned it!” he wrote in his caption.
Friend Andy Cohen also celebrated the Riverdale star by posting a shirtless photo of Consuelos on his Instagram Stories with “Happiest day to @instasuelos” written across it in white font.

Mark and Ripa first met in 1995, when the Scream 7 star filmed a screen test with the Dance Party USA alum for All My Children.
After Mark was hired to play Ripa’s love interest on the daytime drama, their relationship turned romantic, and less than a year into their romance, they eloped in Las Vegas in 1996. A year later, the pair welcomed their eldest child, who was followed by their other two kids in 2001 and 2003.
Back in October, Mark celebrated Ripa on her birthday with a montage of photos of her over the years, which was set to Madonna’s “I’m Addicted.”
“Happy Birthday Sexy! I’m so glad you were born. What a beautiful sprint around the sun. The best is yet to come,” he wrote in his caption, jokingly adding: “P.S. I promise not to snore so much this year.”
