\"Yeah, under the radar on national television,\" Seacrest joked.

The surprises didn't end there, as Consuelos sent out the couple's son, Michael, 23, to deliver a gorgeous bouquet of flowers on his behalf.

\"Happy birthday, babe,\" he lovingly said.

Earlier in the day, Consuelos took to Instagram to send a special message to Ripa. \"Happy birthday to my little ray of sunshine,\" he wrote alongside a three-photo slideshow of the blonde beauty. \"I love you, sexy.\"

Elsewhere during \"Live,\" Ripa got a video message from her three kids, which, in addition to Michael, includes daughter Lola, 19, and son Joaquin, 17.

In the clip, they told their mom just how much she means to them, whether they're just watching reality TV and classic movies with her or she is taking care of and cooking for them. Hilariously, it devolved into a competition between the trio.

Despite all of this excitement -- plus a Fudgie the Whale cake and some pretzels -- Ripa couldn't get over Winfrey's surprise message to her in which she offered an open invitation for the \"All My Children\" alum to join her for lunch.

\"Who you are meant to be comes through in full force in this decade,\" she told Ripa, \"so celebrate all the goodness to come.\"
