The star further proved just how "couple goals" the two truly are with the unbelievable picture, and that the love they have for one another was right there from the start.
The image is from their time on the popular soap opera they both appeared in, All My Children, which ran from 1970 to 2013.

The morning talk show host played the character of Hayley Vaughan starting in 1990, and she met her future husband when he began playing his character of Mateo Santos in 1995. They married in 1996 and have since had three children, Michael, 24, Lola, 20, and Joaquin, 19.
The photo captures a scene of All My Children where Kelly – who's wearing just a white towel wrapped around her – appears looking up at Mark. She's laughing as he is smiling ear to ear, and their chemistry is palpable even from across the screen.
The mom-of-three captioned her post with: "Haley loves Mateo #acm #mcm 1998."

Fans and celebrities alike rushed to the comments ro rave about the picture, writing: "Been with y'all since day 1 on the show," and: "The golden age of All My Children," as well as: "Never ever been more obsessed with a soap couple than I was with Haley & Mateo!!!!

Both of them received Emmy nominations from their performance on the series.
