Kelly Ripa largely received positive reviews as she and her husband Mark Consuelos showed off their swimsuit bodies at the start of the year, but the Instagram post didn't come without drama. In January, the 53-year-old talk show host dropped jaws in a tight swimsuit, posing from a luxurious poolside terrace as she cozied up to her hunky husband. Showing off her incredible figure in a strapless bathing suit, Kelly proved that her intense workouts are paying off, but amid the praise, some found something to complain about. Over 290 fans have now liked a comment calling Photoshop, with the user saying that Kelly's "legs" didn't look like her real ones.

Scroll for the photo. Enjoying an infinity pool backing onto ocean views, Kelly updated her account from a winter escape vacation with the man she married back in 1996. Placing her hands on one of Mark's bulging biceps, the former All My Children actress sizzled in a skintight swimsuit in leaf patterns, rocking gold motifs on a jet-black base while highlighting her killer figure.

Displaying her super-toned legs and buns of steel, Kelly wore shades and her hair down, flaunting her figure and her long-term marriage as Mark wore only dark swim trunks.

Meanwhile, Mark displayed his ripped physique while shirtless, with a caption reading: "Greetings from Captains Underpants (One last swim)."

The post has gained over 150,000 likes, but the comments proved mixed. While friend Lisa Rinna leads the way with her joking: "I’m sorry to see that you’ve both just let yourselves go. Let’s do better in 2024," other comments gained likes for criticizing Kelly Ripa. Suspecting that something was up, one fan said: "It looks like Kelly is photoshopped, those aren’t her legs." Disagreeing, another replied: "I don’t think she needs photoshop anything, she’s a fit petite woman."
