Mark Consuelos gave some advice for those hoping for long-lasting love that is sure to warm the hearts of hopeless romantics around the world.
“Find someone you can dream with,” the actor and father of three said People at the New York City premiere of his latest television role in Max’s The Girls On The Bus.
While that answer may sound sweet to some, it makes a lot of sense when you consider that the underlined meaning insinuates two people headed in the same direction in life.
Consuelos, 52, speaks from experience, as his answer comes just five weeks before he and wife Kelly Ripa celebrate their 28th wedding anniversary.
The famous couple chose to keep it simple when they made their union legal by eloping to the Chapel Of The Bells in Las Vegas in 1996.

Mark advised his fans to “find someone you can dream with,” just as he did with his wife Kelly Ripa, 53. The couple will soon celebrate their 28th wedding anniversary
Last month, Ripa and Consuelos marked their upcoming relationship milestone with a trip back to where it all happened in Sin City.
They eventually documented their return to the Chapel Of The Bells by recreating a photo they took when they shared their wedding and posting it to Instagram along with the original.
“Viva Las Vegas Then Now,” they both wrote in the caption, alongside the photos of the bride and groom staring into each other’s eyes, with Consuelos on the left and Ripa on the right.
They shared a series of photos taken during their return visit, including one of the happy couple posing in front of the wedding chapel.
‘We are back!’ they announced at the bottom of the photo, showing one arm around each other and the other to the side.
The handsome and rugged couple, who often give fans and followers regular updates about their family on social media, plan to “just relax” for their 28th birthday.
While the couple still has five weeks to prepare for their upcoming anniversary, the family will celebrate Consuelos’ 53rd birthday for the first time on March 30.
“I quietly do nothing,” said the Zaragoza-born Spaniard, who grew up in Italy and the United States since childhood. ‘We’ve been on the run for the past six or seven weeks. I can’t wait to relax, sleep in my own bed for a while and enjoy that.’
Ripa, 53, was also reported to be sharing her love for her husband this past Valentine’s Day.
“My funny Valentine…Celebrating 29 years (of love) with this man @instasuelos,” the former soap actress said in February.
As for their milestone 30th anniversary, the Riverdale star claims he has two years “to come up with something big.” but for now it’s all about taking a step back and resting.
In addition to all the festivities, Consuelos and Ripa are also the proud parents of son Michael, now 26, who arrived in June 1997, which led to the birth of daughter Lola, 22, and second son Joaquin, 21, within a year-half period.
The first two episodes of Girls On The Bus premiered on Max (formerly HBO Max) on March 14, and the next eight will air every Thursday through May 9.
