Kelly Ripa's husband Mark Consuelos debuts brand new look during ongoing absence from LIVE

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are taking some time off to enjoy a trip with their family members for the summer.

The daytime TV couple, both 53, spent the past week in Switzerland, primarily Geneva, exploring the lush streets, relaxing by the water on their boat, and devoting time to family.

While it's unclear if their two sons, 27-year-old Michael and 21-year-old Joaquin, were present, they were indeed joined by their daughter Lola, 23, as evidenced by snaps shared by Mark on social media.

However, in some of the photos they posted, what really stood out to fans was Mark's new summer look, which involved ditching his clean-cut brunette locks for a dark buzzcut.

The sleek new look immediately attracted its fans, who left comments on Kelly's snap from the trip that read: "Summer cut!! He can pull it off!!" and: "Mark looks great with [a] buzz cut," as well as: "I am digging the buzz cut, whether it is for a role or not," plus: "Great picture! You both look fabulous! Mark I like the change…"
