Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are marking a marriage milestone!

The pair and Live with Kelly and Mark cohosts celebrated 28 years of marriage on Wednesday, May 1, kicking off the broadcast of their syndicated talk show with a dance to Stevie Wonder’s 1976 song “As.”

“He really is the soundtrack of our life together,” Ripa said.

The couple went on to exchange “happy anniversary” wishes, while remarking on the time that has gone by.

“I was in bed last night trying to do the math,” Consuelos said. “My benchmark for a long time is going through first grade to being a senior in high school. 12 years is a long time. Like, when you were a kid, that’s a whole lifetime. That’s like doing that twice plus a PhD. Plus 4 years in college and master’s program!”

“Should I call you Dr. Consuelos?” Ripa joked, before he teased about “maybe doing a house call later.”
