No one was more surprised than Kelly Ripa to find out 21-year-old Justin Bieber has a "huge crush" on her.

The pop star recently posted an epic throwback of the 44-year-old Live! With Kelly and Michael host in a bikini, captioning it, "Wow Kelly makes me feel some type of way no disrespect I know she's married! #bigcrush." But Ripa joked on-air the next day that she thought something might be wrong with him!

"Justin, I love you, you know that I've taken my daughter to 400 Justin Bieber concerts," she explained to the audience. "I do believe this is a cry for help. I'm worried about him."

She also explained that her husband, Mark Consuelos, couldn't even imagine where the "Boyfriend" singer could have even stumbled across a picture like that. "Mark literally said, 'Where did they find that picture?'" Ripa dished. "And I said, 'A dentist's office from 1980.'"

But while appearing on Watch What Happens Live Sunday, Mark was asked by a caller how he felt about Bieber's crush.

"I thought it was fantastic," he confessed. "I agreed with what he said; she makes me feel a certain way as well."

While host Andy Cohen and co-guest Christina Applegate anticipated a different response, Mark kept it light.

"I know, but what are you going to do? Be angry at Justin Bieber?"

Applegate and Consuelos both agreed that being—and staying—mad at Bieber is probably unlikely, so they joked that they would have shirts made that say, "Don't Be Angry at Justin Bieber."

Although Mark and Kelly were able to have a good laugh over the tween sensation's crush, their teenage daughter, Lola Grace, had something else to say about it. Ripa confessed that the "Home to Mama" crooner's Instagram made her that much cooler in her household.

"Thank you, Justin, though! You really gave me tremendous street cred with my daughter," she said on Live!.
