By that point, Muir had long since proven his journalistic skills.

Suffice to say, Ripa was impressed.

And I wrote: ‘Dude.

You looked amazing tonight.

Don’t know what was going on.

Looked kinda dangerous where you are.

But just wanted to let you know that you looked amazing.

I had the volume down,'” (via Hello!).

Apparently, that’s where it all began!

“I’ve never baked him a cake,” Ripa admitted (viaHello!).

“He’s too … kind … shy about asking,” she told Seacrest.

“But this time he said, ‘I wouldn’t mind a cake.'”

Muir didn’t stop with just celebrating Ripa, though.

He shouted out Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, in anInstagrampost for his birthday in 2019.

“Happy birthday @instasuelos,” Muir wrote.

“[Y]ou make every view better truly.”

As a journalist, Muir made a name for himself investigating and covering disasters.

Ripa presented Muir with the prestigious “Voice Award” at the 6th Annual Save the Children Illumination Gala.

“David Muir is such a baller,” Ripa said within minutes of the episode beginning.

It turns out, Ripa had initially communicated with her journalist best friend on his “work” phone.

“You used to [text] on the breaking news phone,” Muir revealed.

Proving how seamless their friendship is, the two kept on bantering for the rest of the show.
