Kelly Ripa is enjoying a well-deserved relaxing week in the sun - and it looks like she's having a fabulous time!

 The Live star is currently on vacation away from the ABC daytime show and has been updating her followers during her time off. She most recently took to Instagram to share a stunning selfie alongside husband Mark Consuelos, looking stylish in a pair of oversized sunglasses and a vibrant yellow bikini. 

The couple have been together for almost 30 years and Kelly had Mark appear on her new podcast, Let's Talk Off Camera, where they spoke candidly on her podcast about their love life.

The celebrity couple - who share three children, Michael, 25, Lola, 21, and Joaquin, 20 - will be spending even more time together in the coming months too, as it was announced earlier in the year that Mark would be taking over as Kelly's Live co-star, following Ryan Seacrest's departure.

 The American Idol host's very last day as Kelly's hosting partner is April 14.

 ABC, the show's network, confirmed that Ryan would have his final day on the incoming Friday, and Mark's first day will be the following Monday, April 17th, kicking off the week with a brand new era for the long-running show, which will officially be Live! With Kelly and Mark.

 Ryan initially announced the news of his departure back in February, revealing that he would be moving back to California and focusing on his American Idol hosting duties, which is currently on its 21st season. 

"Working alongside Kelly over the past six years has been a dream job and one of the highlights of my career," he said at the time. He added: "She has been an amazing partner, friend, and confidant, and although we will always be a part of each other's lives, I will miss our mornings together."

Joking that the role is being passed on from Kelly's work husband to her real husband, the radio show host said: "It's been a memorable ride and now I'm excited to pass the baton to Kelly's 'real' husband, Mark." 

Kelly in return said: "There is nobody else like you. There is nobody who can really do what you do. I know you in real life as well as TV life. I say this about very few people: what you see is what you get. This is not an act, this is a good man. I am so endlessly impressed by you."
