The wife of comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld celebrated her 43rd birthday Wednesday night, and Ripa was right there for her close friend.
"When God gives you another sister....just with a different last name, @kellyripa," Seinfeld wrote next to a picture of the two enjoying a birthday dinner together.

The "Live with Kelly & Michael" host, 43, also shared a picture of Seinfeld's "dope a-- cake."
"Celebrating @jessseinfeld in style with a dope a** cake and @fatstache on the side," she wrote.
But it wasn't all laughs, as Seinfeld, whose real birthday is Friday, Sept. 12, took time to remember the tragedy that happened in New York 13 years ago today.
"While my birthday is tomorrow, since 9-11, 2001, it's pretty hard to enjoy. This year, what I'm choosing to reflect on about that awful day when the towers came down, is not the destruction nor [excruciating] pain we still endure from the loss, nor the majesty of the new Freedom Tower, but the attitude of NY'ers in the aftermath," she wrote. "Everyone you passed on the street had pain in their eyes and wanted to help. It takes a catastrophic tragedy to get to that soul level. But here on this medium, Instagram, we can remind ourselves of what people have lived through; maybe holding on to impulsive opinions and negative words just today out of respect is a healthy practice."
She added, "So, in this city ... where my husband's dreams to be a stand up comedian came true, where my friends are killing it everyday to afford to live here and make their own dreams real, I want to hope we can remember our humanity. The kindness we felt towards strangers, the resilience, and the tenacity that is the soul of NYC shone bright ... #thankyoutomycrewformybirthdaydinner."
