When Ryan Seacrest announced he’d be leaving “Live! With Kelly and Ryan,” at least three people were very concerned: Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ children. Ripa and Consuelos’ two adu…
Ripa and Consuelos’ two adult sons and daughter have grown up in front of America. They’ve also grown up with Seacrest, who Ripa jokes is known as “Uncle Cool” in their household.
Seacrest never intended for “Live!” to be a forever thing. When he signed on, his contract was three years. He ended up putting in twice that amount of time, but when the day came that he knew he could no longer travel back and forth across the country so frequently, his top priority was ensuring Ripa’s smooth transition on the show. Never could he have guessed that her new co-host would be the most seamless replacement, perhaps in television history: her husband.
“Mark has been a part of the show before they were dating, while they were dating, while they were engaged, while she was pregnant,” Gelman says, reminiscing on meeting Ripa as a 21-year-old soap star. “We’ve all been through a lot together, personally and professionally. You hear this on a lot of productions, like, ‘Oh, we’re like family,’ but we really are. Kelly has been here 22 years, and a lot of the staff has been here for 20 or 30 years, so everyone has grown up together.
“One of the things I will miss the most is our walk down the hallway before the microphones are on, and the hilarity that ensues and the laughter that we have,” Seacrest says. “Sometimes I have to catch my breath as we turn the corner and go out because it’s so genuine and raw. And I’ll miss that moment we look at each other we know we’ve got each other’s backs when we go on the air. There’s no worry with each other.
