Kelly Ripa is reminiscing about an Italian getaway long ago!

The Live with Kelly and Ryan host, 52, shared a sweet throwback photo on Thursday featuring her husband Mark Consuelos and son Michael in Italy. She captioned the Instagram post: “#tbt Italian holiday 🇮🇹 @michael.consuelos atop @instasuelos circa 1998 #daddy“

In the comments section, users couldn’t help but point out the resemblance between Mark, now 51, and his son, now 25, who is also an actor.

Ripa and Mark also share daughter Lola, 21.
