Kelly Ripa had reason to celebrate at the start of the week, as her beloved dad Joe Ripa turned another year older.
The Live co-star took to Instagram to post a montage of family photos from over the years, including a lovely throwback from Joe and his wife Esther's wedding day.
The family resemblance was incredibly clear for all to see too, with Esther as a young bride looking remarkably like Kelly's daughter Lola, 22.
This isn't the first time that a photo of Esther has left viewers doing a double take either.
Back in 2021 when Kelly shared a photo of her mom to mark her 79th birthday, many followers observed just how much she looked like her granddaughter.
"Lola looks like your beautiful mum," one observed, while another noted: "Oh my gosh, there's a striking resemblance to your Lola! Gorgeous! Happy birthday to your mom."
