Kelly Ripa is super into her husband Mark Consuelos, and she wants everyone (on Instagram, anyway) to know it. The Live with Kelly and Ryan! host clapped back at a fan who recently called her thirst trap of Mark "creepy." Along with a shot of Mark modeling a popped collar coat, Kelly wrote, "The Sexiest Man(s) alive year after year! @people #sexiestmanalive."
The second photo in the slideshow was a similar photo of Kelly's on-air partner Ryan Seacrest, striking a remarkably similar posewhile wearing a remarkably similar coatto Mark. THAT was definitely the joke here, not necessarily the thirst trappage. Neither Mark nor Ryan won Sexiest Man this year (that honor went to John Legend), but Kelly certainly had fun making a joke on her IG. One fan, however, wasn't into it.
"I love mark and jelly but it creeps me out when she calls him, 'Daddy,'" the Instagram follower wrote, to which Kelly responded, "it creeps me out when you call me jelly."
Though Kelly didn't call Mark "Daddy" in this particular post, the couple have a longstanding tradition of trolling each other on the 'gram. (Tbh, it seems to be a key component of Kelly's social media strategy.)
"#tbt Corsica #daddy lookin for love (definitely not asking for directions)," she captioned a previous Instagram post.
Kelly and Mark have been married since 1996, so kudos to them for keeping the spark alive. Earlier this year, their daughter Lola accused her parents of "having no chill" after accidentally walking in on them having sex. She said, according to Kelly, "'You act like you're 20, but you're not.'"
One person, however, had no problem with Kelly's preferred term of endearment: Anderson Cooper. "Daddy looks good!" the news anchor commented.
