Kelly Ripa has a not-so-secret admirer in pop star Justin Bieber, who posted a photo of the talk show host in lingerie on his Instagram page this week, catching the eye of Ripa's co-host Michael Strahan.
The "Live! With Kelly & Michael" host, 44, found herself the object of the singer's affection when he posted the picture of her on Twitter and Instagram with the caption, "Wow, Kelly makes me feel some type of way. No disrespect — I know she's married!"
"I do believe this is a cry for help," Ripa said on her show Wednesday of the 21-year-old Bieber
, according to Us Weekly. "Justin, if you need me, I am here and you call me . . . we will work it out."
Ripa told the talk show audience that she believed the picture came from a photo shoot for a
Hamptons magazine, reported the New York Daily News. She also thanked Bieber for "giving her tremendous street cred" with her 14-year-old daughter.
Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos met while the two both starred on the ABC daytime soap opera "All My Children," and they have three kids together. Ripa joked about Consuelos' reaction when he saw the
photo Bieber posted, according to E! Online.
"Mark literally said, 'Where did they find that picture?'" Ripa said on the talk show with a laugh. "And I said, 'A dentist's office from 1980.'"
Consuelos, 44, appeared on "Live! With Kelly and Michael" on April 2 where he showed off his fitness skills by bench pressing his wife.
Bieber's crush on Ripa also caught the attention of social media.
