"Which would've been really expensive, not to mention the super tense parent teacher conferences and all the awkward blended family holiday/vacations."
"Anyway, happy birthday sweetie," he added.
He also surprised his wife with a cake during "Live with Kelly and Ryan." Check out a video of the fun moment.
Ripa's co-host, Ryan Seacrest, also pulled out all the stops to ensure it was a special day for her, decorating her dressing room with balloons.
"No one told me it was my final birthday," she jokes in the video upon seeing the surprise.
