In sync with his wife, Mark also posted the breathtaking snap, which he captioned: "Perfect way to end the day and the summer. Photo cred: @colesprouse." 

Back in July, it was reported that Kelly and Mark were off on their summer holidays, after completing filming for their namesake chat show. It won't be too much longer until they're back on our screens though, as it was recently confirmed that new episodes of Live with Kelly and Mark will premiere from September 5. 

Ahead of the new season, the couple spoke to Entertainment Weekly in a joint interview, explaining that while they've loved having time off, they're also excited to get back in the studio. 

"Although Mark and I have hosted this show together throughout the years, this is our first launch of a new season together as cohosts!" Kelly told the publication.

"It's huge, we can't wait," added Mark. "We've had such a nice vacation with friends and family and we're ready to get back to work after Labor Day. And we have a new twist on the trivia game called 'Stump Mark.' I've been practicing."
