“I’m like any working mom,” Ripa toldGood Housekeepingin 2010.
Needless to say, Ripa doesn’t slow down when cameras aren’t rolling.
Here’s what else we know about her life behind the scenes.
In a 2017 chat withSJ Magazine, Kelly was quick to credit them with shaping her personality.
“My mom and dad are the reason I am who I am today,” she said.
“My parents are very positive people.”
“We love, collectively, all of our parents,” the TV veteran said.
In June 2024, the host shared a sweet series of photos in honor of Esther’s birthday.
“Happy birthday to the sunshine of my life, my mom Essie!
When Joseph’s birthday rolled around the following month, Kelly gave him a heartwarming shoutout, too.
This man has not aged a day in at least 40 years.”
On social media, they regularly share PDA-heavy photos, as well asthrowbackphotographs of their life together.
Happy anniversary to the love of my life @instasuelos.
So grateful to you for all the dreams come true."
The more you exercise, the healthier it is," she said.
Ripa said that her workout regimen includes cardio dance classes, SoulCycle, and running.
The TV star also works with Anna Kaiser, a celebrity personal trainer.
So the list goes.
“I think we found each other at the right time in our lives,” she said.
“We were really pliable to each other.
We really learned each other well.
With that comes a certain level of comfort and confidence and experimentation and just fun.”
However, Kelly Ripa seems to have it particularly bad with regard to some of her former coworkers.
Seven years after his departure, Philbin went on “Larry King Live” to spill the tea.
He told Larry King, “[Ripa] got very offended when I left.
She thought I was leaving because of her.
I was leaving because I was getting older and it was not right for me anymore.”
Similarly, Ripa also had problems when her next co-host, Michael Strahan, left in 2016.
Though they managed to come together for Strahan’s final shows, they didn’t stay close.
“We met a few times, and that was fine,” he explained.
“But then eventually she said she didn’t need to meet.
Can’t force somebody to do something they don’t want to do.”
Ripa wasn’t given a heads-up before the announcement was made.
To say it made her angry is an understatement.
“Even though I have to go desperately.”
When one person said thank you, Ripa brightly replied, “Sure!”
In aRedditthread titled “Is Kelly Ripa arrogant and unfriendly in person?”
one user shared, “My father was a big fan of her before he died.
He attended a live show and she was very friendly to him.
She acknowledged him and thanked him for the support.”
“I liked her,” they explained.
I know him privately.
We’ve traveled together.
We’ve gone on vacation together, like, pre-him having kids, you know?
I’ve never seen a drug around him …
I’m so offended by it.
I’m so angry over it."
It’s certainly not the first time Ripa has defended Cohen in public.
Evidently, Ripa did not want to see this remark snowball into something it wasn’t.
Rather, she told Seacrest that Cohen did no such thing.
“That’s not true.
He said he was trying to get your attention,” she stated.
And that was that.
Then, Ripa removed Aiken’s hand from her face and reprimanded him.
“I just don’t know where that’s been, honey,” she said.
PerABC News, Ripa called into “The View” right then and there to address O’Donnell’s remarks.
She wanted to have this weird feud," she said.
After the book came out, a source toldUs Weeklythat O’Donnell reached out to Ripa.
Make of it what you will.
That’s a serious chunk of money, to say the least.
And some of that money goes to important causes.
Without proper technology, it is simply impossible."
This is just one example of Ripa’s philanthropy over the years.
In 2024, Ripa and Consuelos helped to fundraise at the Michigan Medicine Women’s Health Luncheon.
Their part was crucial, helping attendees and donors part with around $750,000 for the good cause.
However, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos aren’t the only ones who are proud of the three kids.
I’m so proud of you.'
And that means something to us."
Ripa’s not just supportive when it comes to respecting boundaries.
“But once you graduate, that’s over,” she added.
Not a bad deal.
