Happy 45th Birthday, Kelly Ripa! Check Out the Stunning Star's Best Live! Moments

Multi-talented actress and talk show host has been making us smile for years

Happy birthday, Kelly Ripa! 

The multi-talented, perennially youthful soap star turned talk show host turns 45 today, and what better way to mark the special milestone than by looking back at her best moments on Live! With Kelly and Michael.

For nearly 15 years, Kelly's larger-than-life personality has brought big laughs and even bigger smiles to our mornings, first alongside TV legend Regis Philbin and now with co-host Michael Strahan. 

The dynamic duo have had their fair share of unforgettable experiences on the New York City-based show, including an accidental Puerto Rico trip giveaway that had Ripa in complete stitches, a number of outrageous Halloween costumes and an unfortunate mid-show alarm that Kelly and Michael handled with grace and humor.

Check out the gallery below for even more memorable Live! moments. And we're wishing Kelly the best day ever!
