Mark Consuelos' Emotional Birthday Surprise

0:00On March 30th, Mark Consuelos hit a milestone on live with Kelly and Mark, turning 55 and things got real emotional right there on air. His wife and co-host, Kelly Ripa, pulled off a sweet surprise with an animated birthday message from their dog Lena, who they playfully call his favorite, Child. The bitch showed Lena cracking jokes about Mark staying hydrated and hitting his steps than dropping that in dog years he's 385. The lifts no older than 55. It was all lighthearted fun, but it clearly hit Mark in the feels. Kelly spotted his tears welling up and called him out, leading Mark to laugh it off while bearing his head on the desk for a second. He straight up asked if it was weird that he got so choked up, owning the moment like the tough guy gone soft. This isn't the first time pets have brought out their soft side on the show. Just last year, they both broke down sharing the loss of their other dog, Chewie, who stood by them after their three kids headed off to college and beyond.
