"I'm really glad you were born.. Because let's face it, if you weren't, I would've been married 3 or 4 times by now," he joked. "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.
