Ripa recently shared with her following that she got “the best gift ever” from her husband for their anniversary and posted photos of the romantic gift to her Instagram story. The gift was a handmade photo album with photos from throughout her and Consuelos’ relationship. This included photos from the births of the couple’s three children, Michael, Lola, and Joaquin.

Consuelos apparently wrote a sweet note at the beginning of the book as well: “If I were to write a book of our story, these are the 25 places that could have their own chapter. All of these places mean so much to me — and hopefully to you too.”

The couple recently spoke on an episode of the “Double Date” podcast, recalling a defining moment in their relationship. “When we first got married, I think Mark felt like he rushed into it and maybe he made a mistake and maybe he was regretting it, and he took my wedding ring and threw it out the window,” Ripa admits.

Despite this, they were able to work through it. “I looked at him, and I said, ‘I get it. I’m young and married and I’m scared, too. I get it. This is forever. I’m with you,'” Ripa says. “Now we have to go find this ring.'” And the rest is truly history!
