Kelly Ripa is making it clear that she doesn’t secretly use filters to edit her fresh-faced selfies.

The 50-year-old TV personality and her husband are currently adjusting to their new era in life as empty-nesters and the former All My Children actress posted a snap in celebration on Instagram.

The idyllic shot saw the Live With Kelly and Ryan co-host and her Riverdale star husband relaxing on the beach during a peaceful sunset.

‘Cheese and a baguette,’ Kelly captioned the snap, adding baguette, cheese and beach-umbrella emojis.

Fans instantly flooded her comments section to comment about just how young the pair looked in the image.

One follower gushed: ‘How is it you look 10 years younger Kelly? [raised-eyebrow emoji] must be a relaxing holiday!’

To which, another fan responded: ‘As beautiful as she is it’s def a filter! [heart emoji].’

The comment caught Kelly’s eye and she was quick to set the record straight as she stated: ‘if it was a filter i would look amazing. It’s just the angle and sunset light.’

The star’s response earned plenty of praise as one person wrote: ‘Perfect response Kelly ! Ha ha and by the way, you do look amazing!’

Another user posted: ‘You do look amazing! I know it isn’t a filter … you are just blessed and take great care of yourself, and it shows!’

Others continued to praise her youthful appearance as one fan joked: ‘You two must have the secret to turning back time?!’

‘Teenagers !!!!’ Carson Kressley wrote as Mark’s Riverdale co-star Marisol Nichols added: ‘You look 15.’
