Lara Spencer took to social media on Sunday to share a special tribute to none other than her husband Richard McVey on his birthday.

The entrepreneur and MarketAxess CEO turned 64 on July 2, which the Good Morning America anchor, 54, celebrated with a slew of snapshots from their recent times together.

Several of them seemed to be near their Connecticut home, posing for photos on sun-soaked marinas and enjoying warm days out with friends, family, and their dog Riva.
