Kelly Ripa In A Backless Swimsuit Should 'Be A Home Screen'

Kelly Ripa took a matter of minutes to receive compliments as she posted a cheeky swimwear snap featuring husband Mark Consuelos to her Instagram last year. Closing 2022 with a cheeky display, the talk show host wowed fans with a jaw-dropping display of her toned figure, also showing off the perks of a luxurious vacation she was enjoying. Showing off her sensational silhouette, Kelly went backless in a classy black bathing suit that highlighted her muscles and her curves, and it looks like one fan thinks the shot is worthy of being a "home screen." Kelly confirmed that her image was a throwback, but fans don't seem to care either way.

Proving that age is but a number, Kelly showcased her gym-honed frame poolside and from a swish deck overlooking an infinity pool backing onto ocean waters.

Enjoying time with 1996-married husband Mark, the Live! host was photographed from behind, where she flaunted her pint-sized frame in a halter, no-back swimsuit. Adding in pops of metallic gold at the straps and on the back, Kelly also wore her light locks down as she hid her face, but fans more than saw her body!

Kelly just about twinned with Mark, who wore black shorts and a casual black t-shirt to match. The popular couple was photographed at sunset, and it was the perfect snap! In a caption, Kelly told her 3 million+ fans: "#tbt 2020 Threw backside and had a cheeky new year???#throwbackthursday."

"OK this is going to be my motivation to start working out!!" one user replied. Also gaining likes was a fan who told Kelly: "If this was a photo of my backside it would be the home screen to my husbands laptop, the wallpaper to his (and probably my own) phone and maybe even my holiday cards…for every holiday for the foreseeable future!! ??"

Fans also seemed keen to shop Kelly's swimsuit. "I love your swimsuit Kelly! What brand is that? I want to get one like that. You look incredible!" a further user chimed in.

Kelly is 53 years old, but nobody thinks she looks a day over 40. In fact, she's even joked about having a "Peter Pan" body, per her 2019 reveal to The Cut.

"I was talking to a cardiologist and he said to make sure your heart beats out of your chest every day. The more you exercise, the healthier it is. And I can be honest: My body looks like Peter Pan no matter what I do. I’ve never been a va-va-voom woman," she said.

Kelly further revealed an elaborate coffee routine that includes a "bullet coffee," plus a Starbucks on-set. As to food, Kelly loves avocado on toast and happily munches on salads to top up her vegetable intake. She has, however, made headlines for ordering in McDonald's during a winter snow storm.
