Kelly Ripa shared a loving tribute to husband Mark Consuelos in honor of his 50th birthday on Tuesday.

Alongside an Instagram video featuring throwback photos of Consuelos throughout his childhood, Ripa, 50, wrote, "Happy birthday to the light of our lives @instasuelos."

"I’ve loved you for more than half of your life, here are the years before we met," the "Live With Kelly and Ryan" co-host continued. "I was looking for you."

In the days leading up to Consuelos' 50th, Ripa shared several throwbacks featuring her actor husband.

"A light PDA moment in celebration of #MC40," she wrote alongside a shot of them from 2011. "Countdown to #MC50 which will be a virtual celebration this year."

Ripa also shared a photo from his 47th birthday during the countdown.

The snap featured two of the couple's children, Lola, who is now 19 years old, and Joaquin, who is now 18 years old. They are also parents to 23-year-old Michael.

Ripa turned 50 last October.

Ripa and Consuelos met on the set of popular soap opera "All My Children" and married in 1996. They eloped in Las Vegas.

The couple celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary in May 2020.
