Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’s latest poolside photo is giving off summer vibes (despite it being the middle of winter.)

This past weekend, the Generation Gap host, 53, posted a vacation pic on her Instagram page, which shows her and her hubby sporting their easy-breezy poolside (and beachside) attire.

In the snap, Ripa poses next to her husband in a black one-piece swimsuit covered with white flowers. Meanwhile, Consuelos, 53, is smiling next to his wife wearing swim trunks with no shirt. Naturally, they’re both giving some serious thirst trap energy.

In the caption, Ripa wrote, “Greetings from Captains Underpants [bathing suit and swimsuit emojis]  (One last swim).”

The couple’s celebrity friends gushed over them in the comments section. Ripa’s former Hope & Faith castmate, Faith Ford, commented, “Excellent!!” Ripa and Consuelos’s longtime friend, Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna, jokingly wrote underneath the post, “I’m sorry to see that you’ve both just let yourselves go. Let’s do better in 2024 [heart eye emoji].”

The couple revealed on Monday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark that they spent the holidays on vacation (apparently somewhere tropical and sunny) with their three kids: Michael, 26, Lola, 21, and Joaquin, 20.

Of course, this isn’t the first pool photo Ripa and Consuelos have shared on the ‘gram. Back in July of 2023, the Live Wire author re-posted an iconic thirst trap of her man on Instagram.

In the pic, Consuelos is lying on his back while sporting a black pair of shades and matching swimming trunks. “It’s that time of year again [droplet emoji] @instasuelos,” Ripa captioned the post. 

What we wouldn’t give to be next to a pool right now with a cold bev in hand.
