Mark Consuelos Goes Shirtless In New Summer Photos From Wife Kelly Ripa

It is “that time of the year again” for Kelly Ripa and her beau to surprise fans with sultry summer photos. The actress shared a photo of her husband, Mark Consuelos showing off his six-packs while lounging in the pool.

As expected, the comment section was full of praise and admiration for Mark, who has an impressive body build at 52. “Mark is hot 365 days a year, baby,” celebrity stylist Brad Goreski wrote. It is not Kelly’s first time showing off her husband’s hot body on her Instagram page, and her reasons are pretty surprising.

Mark Consuelos goes shirtless

Although Kelly says she has “done a great deal of gift-giving to society” by sharing her husband’s photos, her reason for ramping it up might amuse you. The Live with Kelly and Mark co-host admitted posting more sexy shots of Mark to get Madonna’s attention.

“That happened to me when Madonna followed me and Isaac Boots told me. He’s like, ‘Oh my God. Madonna followed you and I was like, ‘What? What? What?!’ and I immediately sort of changed everything I posted,” Kelly shared. “I started posting only shirtless photos of Mark because I was like, ‘Madonna doesn’t want to see my kids. She wants to see eye candy.'”

Mark Consuelos ‘Big Hat Energy’

Last summer, Kelly, as usual, made several posts about her husband. The Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories author shared a photo of Mark in sunglasses, black trunks, and a woven hat laying just below his torso. “Adequate sun protection?” she captioned.

Kelly also shared the post to her Instagram story, calling attention to her husband’s “big hat energy.” The power couple met on the set of All My Children and got married a year after. They share three children who are now in their 20s— Michael, Lola, and Joaquin.
