The love story, like many on the soap, began on the set of All My Children. According to Kelly Ripa, it was love at first sight. Ripa happened across a photograph featuring her co-star, Mark Consuelos, who played her love interest. In a SiriusXM interview, she admits that she saw her life with Consuelos flash before her eyes at that moment. Or maybe she saw a super hot guy rich guy and thought “he’ll do.” The two quickly started dating. And after just a year, he proposed to her casually over a box of pizza and wine. She thought he was kidding. He insisted he was serious and asked her to go to Vegas the next day. On May 1, 1996, the two got married in Las Vegas. They honeymooned in Italy.

Ten years later, the couple officially bought a ring for Ripa, so they would know that she was taken forever. Whew. And today, she claims it as one of her most prized possessions.
