Mark Consuelos has left fans doing a double-take after shaving off his signature hair. While some mourn the loss of his luscious locks, others are buzzing with excitement over his bold new look.
Mark Consuelos, renowned for his luscious dark locks, shocked fans with a new haircut in an Instagram post shared by his wife, Kelly Ripa, during their scenic trip to Switzerland. The photo captured Mark in a long-sleeved blue shirt, his freshly buzzed head drawing all the attention.
One heartbroken follower reacted on Mark's new hair, "Buzz cut?!! NO!!!!!!" while a supportive admirer praised the bold move, commenting, "Nice! Great haircut, @instasuelos."
While Mark sported a relaxed outfit, Kelly, who sat beside him, looked stunning in a printed black and yellow top, her blonde hair cascading to her shoulders. The picturesque backdrop of lush greenery added to the charm, with Kelly's caption, "We are Switzerland baby 🇨🇭🇨🇭," encapsulating their joyous moment.
The internet erupted with more mixed reactions. Some fans were taken aback, expressing a deep longing for Mark's former flowing locks."What's with the shaved head? Where's that beautiful hair? Did he sell it?" questioned one netizen, punctuating their disbelief with cry-laugh and shrugging emojis.
Another lamented, "What happened to Marc's beautiful hair [sic]?" Their disappointment was palpable, echoed by an unenthusiastic critic, "Have fun be safe. I don't like your hair cut [sic]."
Amidst the sea of nostalgia, there was a lone voice of enthusiasm. "I am digging the buzz cut, whether it is for a role or not," declared a supporter, embracing the change with gusto. Even amidst the surprise, one fan lightened the mood and playfully remarked, "Yikes! Thankfully hair grows back!"
Mark's haircut sparked a wave of emotions, showing just how much his fans care about his signature style. Interestingly, this isn't the first time Mark has opted for a buzz cut.
In 2022, Kelly revealed on "LIVE with Kelly and Ryan" that her husband had shaved his head, sharing a humorous story with co-host Ryan Seacrest. As a photo of the freshly shaved Mark appeared on the show, Ryan joked about his cheekbone angles.
Kelly explained, "I asked him for a picture because we were doing a story about the heat and I was like, 'Well Mark's not hot he shaved his head and now he's cold all the time.'"
She also shared with Ryan about Mark's shaved head affecting their bedtime routine. She joked that Mark, who usually kept the bedroom cold, now found it chilly and wanted to reduce the air conditioning. Kelly quipped that after 27 years, he could simply put on a hat to stay warm.
This lighthearted banter showcases not only their playful relationship but also their ageless charm, which continues to captivate fans. In a 2020 Parade interview, Kelly shared her insights on health, happiness, and family after turning 50.
Fans often marvel at Mark and Kelly's youthful appearances and wonder about their secret to staying ageless. With her trademark humor, Kelly partly credited modern technology and said, "I think we're better now with filters. I think the filters are better now."
But beyond filters, Kelly shared some valuable lessons she has learned, such as laughing a lot and adopting a healthy lifestyle. "Not that we were sitting around drinking day and night, but I think there is something about clean living—maybe that's what did it. Maybe that's the difference," she explained.
This commitment to a healthy lifestyle seems to be paying off, not just for Kelly and Mark but also for their family. Recently, their son Michael celebrated his 27th birthday as reported on June 3.
Some fans couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance between him and Mark, even calling him his dad's twin. The TV stars shared a heartfelt dedication on Instagram to mark Michael's birthday on June 2.
Kelly and Mark's post showcased a video they made to commemorate all the wonderful memories and experiences their son has had thus far in his life.
Accompanied by late iconic singer Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up," the video started by showing an adorable baby picture of Michael before showing a throwback video of Mark holding him on the day he was born.
More home footage followed the earlier video, showing Kelly and Mark doting on their newborn baby just days after his birth. The couple shared precious moments with their followers, including Mark protectively watching over Michael as they lay on a bed.
Other footage featured snapshots of baby Michael being doted on by family members like his grandparents. Particularly heartfelt and significant moments from the home video footage displayed Michael smiling and having fun and taking his first crawl while his dad cheered him on from behind the camera.
More footage included beautiful mother-son bonding moments showing Kelly holding onto Michael as they swam in a pool and—in another instance—played with a dog. Amid all the wonderful snapshots, Kelly was also seen holding onto baby Michael's hands as he took his first steps outside on the lawn.
Other adorable videos showed Michael in his toddlerhood being a happy-go-lucky kid. Michael's parents also showed footage of his first Halloween where he was dressed as the Looney Tunes Tasmanian Devil character.
In another cute video, Michael was seen saying hello to the camera and answering questions from his dad, about his name and age. Additional memories shared by the parents included Kelly getting Michael's sister, Lola Consuelos, ready for another Halloween as he patiently waited beside them.
More footage then showed Michael being a loving big brother to Lola: Spending time with her, playing on the swings with her, and hugging her. The throwback video then showed an array of pictures of Michael as he entered his teen years.
At the end of the post, Kelly and Mark included another throwback home video of a young Michael looking up at the camera and saying, "This show never ends." Alongside the touching birthday tribute, Kelly penned, "Happy 27th birthday to the founding member of our family @Michael.Consuelos 🎉 you got the ball rolling baby and we love you!"
In addition to the birthday video posted on her feed, Kelly also shared pictures of the celebration they had for Michael on her Instagram Story. One photo showed a delicious-looking spread of food set out on a table.
Layered over the photo was Kelly's caption which read "Birthday dinner vibes." The TV host also shared another image on her story which showed a close-up of what looked to be a berry tree and pinned a "Happy Birthday" sticker on top of the picture.
When admirers saw the "LIVE with Kelly and Mark's" birthday dedication, many of them showered Michael with birthday messages in the comment section and marveled at how similar he and Mark looked.
"He is his daddy's twin happy birthday," wrote a fan while another praised, "So handsome, just like his dad. Beautiful video, thanks for sharing." "Happy Birthday Michael," commented someone else.
Bringing Michael's siblings, Lola and Joaquin, into the mix another admirer gushed, "No one can deny all of their kids are GORGEOUS."
Mark continues to surprise with his bold hairstyles, complementing Kelly Ripa's timeless charm. Their ageless appearances and Michael's striking resemblance highlight the enduring legacy of the Consuelos family, leaving a lasting impression on fans.
