When Kelly Ripa isn't hosting one of the biggest talk shows in America, one of her favorite pastimes is posting thirst traps of her husband, Mark Consuelos. Whether it's beach flashbacks, training pics or snaps from the pool, Ripa is not afraid to show off her hunky husband on Instagram (and we can't blame her).

Well, Ripa just posted another steamy photo, featuring her and her husband in bed on the set of the ABC sitcom Hope & Faith. Ripa wrote, "#tbt 2005 HOPE AND FAITH edition. In anticipation of the return of @instasuelos. thank you @nastarandibai for the romp down memory lane."

The post was made even better by her husband's comment, which said: "Omg!!!! It’s like our actual bedroom."

Ripa starred on the series as Faith Fairfield, a former sitcom actress who always involved her sister, Hope (Faith Ford), in her many wild schemes. Consuelos had a recurring role on the series as Gary "The Gooch" Gucharez, a retired baseball player who's dating Ripa's character.

This was not the first time the real-life couple have played lovers on screen. They first met when they starred on the ABC soap opera All My Children, before quickly eloping in May of 1996. Just this month, they celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary, which Ripa commemorated with an Instagram post: "Happy 25th Anniversary to the love of my life @instasuelos in the blink of an eye. Because when you know, you know. Thank you for all of the dreams you made reality. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ (wedding, 5,10,15,20........#25) #silver."

Thanks, you two, for being one of our favorite Hollywood couples.
