Ripa revealed during a July 2024 episode that she and Consuelos have fooled around backstage.

But that’s not the kicker!

“Kelly forgot to put on pants,” read one comment (viaCloser).

Another user asked, “Why is she in her underwear?”

Others, seemingly partial to Consuelos, questioned why his pants were on.

Finally, one user offered some clarity to this potentially scandalous picture.

“People!!!!

It’s a swimsuit!!!

Can’t you see the cabana in the background!!!

and if it was underwear, it’s her Insta, she can post what she wants!!

Good grief,” they wrote.
