    She’s managed to maintain a youthful visage despite turning 50 last year.

    But Kelly Ripa left some fans wondering if she was using Instagram filters to make herself look even younger after posting a lovely photo taken at the beach on Tuesday.

    But the Live! With Kelly And Ryan host claimed it was just a matter of ‘the angle’ that made her look particularly young.

    She's still got it: Kelly Ripa, 50, looked so youthful in a beach selfie with husband Mark Consuelos, also 50, that some fans speculated she was using a filter on Instagram

    In the photo snapped by her hunky husband Mark Consuelos, also 50, Kelly could be seen leaning over in her beach chair and smiling for the camera.

    She showed off her age-defying figure in a black single-shoulder tank top and a lovely blue floral-print skirt, while her husband looked relaxed in a navy hoodie and a T-shirt. 

    ‘Cheese and a baguette,’ she wrote of their seaside picnic.

    ‘You look like teenagers! ❤️,’ wrote one user, while others wrote that they looked similarly youthful and ‘cute.’ 

    But in a since-deleted commented caught by E! News, one Instagram user wrote: ‘How is it you look 10 years younger Kelly? [raised-eyebrow emoji] must be a relaxing holiday!’

    Nothing to see here: In since-deleted comments, some followers suggested she was using filters, but Kelly replied that it was'just the angle' and the'sunset light'

    'Spot the difference?': She bolstered her case by posting the original next to a clearly filtered version that made her look like a smooth-faced doll

    Another user responded: ‘As beautiful as she is it’s def a filter!’

    But Kelly shot back at the claims that she had manipulated her photo by suggesting it was just taken at a flattering angle.

    ‘If it was a filter it would look amazing,’ she replied. ‘It’s just the angle and sunset light.’

    To prove her point, Kelly shared a hilarious side-by-side comparison of her face in the original image and a clearly filtered version of the photo next to it.

    ‘Spot the difference?’ she wrote, and the massaged image on the right had an even, waxy skin tone and touched-up eyebrows that made her look decades younger, despite being obviously fake.

    A playful photo that Kelly posted back in July supported her claims that she hadn’t done anything to her face, as she looked similarly youthful while smiling.

    The funny snap showcased her trim figure in a black one-piece swimsuit as she leaned down to show off her pert derriere to Mark, who let his mouth fall open in a cartoonish look of amazement.

    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! 

    The talk show host had several fans in her corner who replied supportively to her Instagram comment.

    ‘Perfect response Kelly ! Ha ha and by the way, you do look amazing!’ wrote one person.

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

    Kelly and her actor husband have been living it up since becoming empty nesters.

    Back in June, they celebrated their youngest son Joaquin, 18, graduating from high school, and last week they dropped him off at the University of Michigan, where he’ll be part of the wrestling team.

    The couple also share 24-year-old Michael, who graduated from New York University in 2020, and 20-year-old Lola, who will be starting her junior year at the same university this year. 

    On Sunday, Kelly posted a photo of herself looking stone-faced while sitting on the sofa next to Mark as they got a chance to relax after getting their home all to themselves.

    ‘So far we are crushing this empty nest thing,’ she joked.
