"21 years of lit-ness," Ripa captioned a series of photos with Consuelos. @instasuelos Happy Anniversary I love you. Big!"
"Yes!!! We did it!!! Happy 21st anniversary to my fave... I'll save the mushy stuff for when I see you," the actor added on his own account.
Ripa and Consuelos met on the set of All My Children in 1995 and eloped the next year. The couple share 19-year-old son Michael, 15-year-old daughter Lola and 14-year-old son Joaquin.
"We're very lucky that we found each other, that's what I have to say," Ripa told AOL in 2015. "I would say to Mark, 'Who would we have married if not each other?'"
"Open communication and strong listening skills can help carry you through hard times," she added. "That's what you want in life, to have a good companion, somebody that loves you, that listens to you and is your equal in every way."
Ripa confirmed Seacrest as her new co-host Monday on Live in the wake of Michael Strahan's May 2016 departure. Seacrest, who joined Ripa on the episode, said he "couldn't be more excited" about the gig.
