When it comes to posting pictures of Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa is being a bit more selective these days. 

The 50-year-old host recently took to Instagram and shared how she's been erring on the side of caution after that Halloween photo

In case you missed it, Kelly published a series of old snaps of her family members and co-workers in their costumes on Oct. 22. One of the photos showed her husband wearing a form-fitting patrol uniform from the TV show CHiPs. However, fans seemed less focused on the getup and more focused on the Riverdale star's bulge. In fact, the picture generated so much attention that Mark felt the need to weigh in.

"Full disclosure," the 49-year-old actor wrote. "I believe that's definitely a shadow that's causing that bulging effect."

However, Kelly didn't seem to agree, writing, "Ummmmm baby are you seeing shadows?"

The playfulness continued right up to Halloween, when Kelly shared a few more throwbacks. "I cropped at the crotch you thirst buckets," she wrote at the time. "All trick, no treat."

Now, Kelly is showing her followers just how much thought she's giving to her posts. For #ManCrushMonday on Nov. 16, Kelly posted old pictures of Mark lounging shirtless by the pool and having a cigar while on vacation. 

"Because they're all throwbacks now, I give you my forever #mcm MC @instasuelos," she wrote. "Take us away baby."

Daily Pop's very own Justin Sylvester then teased he noticed Kelly had "chosen the photo carefully."

"You have no idea how carefully," the LIVE with Kelly and Ryan star replied. "And how limiting it all is (I'm not complaining)." 

Sylvester wasn't the only one to get in on the fun, either. "Love it!" another commenter wrote. "No shadows."

Still, Kelly and Mark weren't afraid to show a little PDA. After her hubby commented "let's go there now," Kelly wrote back, "come get me #daddy."

As one fan put it, "Love you 2: Couple goals through the years."
