Kelly Ripa took to Instagram today to share a post congratulating her Live with Kelly and Ryan co-star, Ryan Seacrest, on his induction into the Radio Hall of Fame.
Kelly treated her 2.5 million followers to an inside peek at the awards celebration with a quadruple Instagram update. In the first snap, Kelly shared an adorable shot of Ryan and his girlfriend, Shayna Taylor, as they sat at the table for the induction ceremony and celebration. Ryan looked classically handsome in a crisp white shirt, black tie, and black suit jacket. His partner Shayna had her blond locks down in a flawless blowout and rocked a sparkling red short-sleeved dress. The duo leaned close to one another for the picture and were both beaming.
For the second and third snaps of her update, Kelly shared pictures of Ryan actually on stage, talking into the microphone as he accepted his award. Given the perspective of the snaps, it seems that Kelly was in the audience herself for the ceremony and celebration. Late night show host Jimmy Fallon was the one who presented the award to Ryan, as he was pictured in the third shot that Kelly shared with a trophy tucked under his arm.
She finished off her update with a stunning shot of the Radio Hall of Fame sign, illuminated in a crisp white.
Kelly paired the pictures with a heartfelt caption in which she congratulated Ryan while also singing his praises for all his other strengths, calling him “a total package.”
