Safe to say Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are our current #RelationshipGoals. 

The 44-year-old actor stopped by the Live! With Kelly and Michael set on Wednesday to co-host the show with his gorgeous wife, stepping in for Michael Strahan, where the hunky Spanish-born star dished on his recent birthday and revealed the thoughtful gift he received from Ripa. 

"By far, you're the most thoughtful, the best gift giver all the time. For a husband—even if you weren't—I'm telling you a husband would say that you are," Consuelos said to his other half. "I would still say that you were, even if you were really bad, I would say you're the best, but you really are the best. But if you weren't I would still same the same thing."

Got that? Good—because here's how the surprise went down:

"A couple of days ago, she said I will give you your present when I get home. I'm like 'oh!'" he said as the audience laughed. "So we both meet up around 4:00 and she's like we got to go. And I go "It's outside? [Is it a] hotel?'" 

"And I said I want you to lower your sexual expectations," Ripa chimed in. 

Consuelos then guessed his gift was a car—at which point Kelly became concerned about her present. "So now I'm like 'Oh, no! He thinks it's something amazing. He thinks it's a car. Oh, no!'"

"We're walking up 5th Avenue and we're slowing down and I and I'm thinking oh, god—no. Like a flashmob....This is my worst nightmare. 

"So we make a left into the park. It's a beautiful location. And if you've been walking through Central Park, you'll see all these park benches and they have little plaque on them," he continued before revealing. "My wife got me a plaque on one of the park benches." 

The plaque read "Daddy Cool, est. March 30, 1971," and as Consuelos explained, "That's what she calls me. It's so nice. That's the best gift I've ever received." 

How sweet!
