Ty Pennington and his wife Kellee Merrell can't get enough of Miami – or each other!

In a series of short video clips shared on Instagram Reels, Pennington, 57, can be seen enjoying the sunrise with Merrell, 34, and their dog Dory.

The video montage begins with Merrell enjoying the stunning ocean view on her balcony while her HGTV star husband brings two cups of coffee. The couple then shares a heartwarming moment with a hug and a kiss, and Dory later joins them to feel the love.

Although Pennington begins the film on a romantic note, it quickly takes a playful turn by kneeling on the floor and tugging at his wife's bathrobe.

Pennington wrote in the caption, “Miami morning…” but quickly added, “You didn't think I could do a serious video did you?? 🤪#justcheckin.”
