Kelly Ripa shared a very sweet and meaningful photo of the men in her life, from her husband, Mark Consuelos, to her sons, Michael and Joaquin.

But there was someone else in the picture; Saul Consuelos, Mark's father, also joined in to make sure that the generational snap was as legit as possible.

As it can be seen in the photo posted on Instagram, all the Consuelos share a complex resemblance, proving that their genes do run strong.

Kelly and Mark's sons are growing very fast and it seems like yesterday that the couple got together, even though 22 years have passed since they tied the knot.

But no matter how much time has passed, the "Live With Kelly and Ryan" co-host still remembers the first time she saw Mark, and it wasn't in person.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

According to Kelly, she first saw her future husband through a picture while working as Hayley Vaughan in the soap opera "All My Children."

The 47-year-old shared that the directors were looking for an actor to play the role of Mateo Santos, but they didn't just want anyone: they wanted a true Latino actor.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Kelly recalled 'auditioning every Latino actor in the city' and California.' Then, all of a sudden, Judy Wilson, the casting director of the show, found Mark.

When Kelly laid eyes on his photo, she said to have seen her whole life with him flash in front of her, something that she never believed to be possible. But, although Kelly and Mark's marriage is a happy one, it doesn't come close to Kirk Douglas and Anne Buydens'.

A TRUE EXAMPLE OF LOVE

The sweet couple was recently spotted enjoying the warmth of the sun in a stroll down the street under their carer's careful supervision.

Douglas, 101, has been married to Buydens, 99, for 64 years and it still looks as if they're in their honeymoon phase because they spend most of their time together.
