Kelly Ripa is not afraid to claim Mark Consuelos as her man — and she did just that in a way fans likely missed online.
The Live With Kelly and Mark stars love to show off their relationship on daytime TV and on social media. But the couple also finds ways to support one another's respective career opportunities outside of their show. On April 7, Mark revealed a new campaign as part of his role as the first-ever Stuart Weitzman Men's global ambassador. The black-and-white photos on Instagram featured Mark wearing the brand's shoes ... and not much else.
As Mark posed shirtless in just shorts, socks and sneakers, Kelly made sure to give her two cents on the news. Kelly reposted a hilarious video on her Instagram account the same day, featuring Blakely Neiman Thornton reacting to the campaign photos by saying, "Kelly Ripa continues to be out here winning." By sharing this take, Kelly wholeheartedly declared her support.
"I’m Kelly Ripa and I once again approve this message 👟," she cheekily wrote in the caption.
Upon witnessing Kelly's bold remarks about Mark's latest career venture, folks couldn't get enough of seeing her openly swoon over her husband on social media.
"I love everything about this!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️," one person wrote. "Mark is a smoke-show! Love you two!" another declared. "Wait ... there are shoes? I must have missed that. 😂," a different follower added.
Now, this likely won't be the last time Kelly shares photos of her husband's work with Stuart Weitzman online. According to a report from Page Six, Mark's campaign is just the first in what a brand press release calls "the next step in Stuart Weitzman’s foray into the men’s footwear space."
"I love my Stuart Weitzman shoes and wear them often, whether on the show, on the red carpet or during my downtime," Mark shared in an official statement, per the outlet. "I look and feel my best in them, and I think this really shows in the new campaign!"
We totally agree ... and we need more photos ASAP!
