Kelly Ripa admits she’s “in love” with Ryan Seacrest

On Friday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan, she admitted that she’s “in love” with her co-host. She was feeling emotional about Ryan Seacrest’s last day. Kelly confessed that working together made her fall “in love” with him. The ABC television personality couldn’t contain herself as she revealed her true feelings for her friend.

“I’ve been in love with you, but now everyone else fell in love with you!” Kelly Ripa told her co-host.

Both of them seemed emotional during the broadcast. It was a touching tribute to the busiest man on television. Ryan announced his exit back in February. He wants to focus on his many ventures.

Unfortunately, his co-hosting job made it difficult for him to host American Idol. Ryan had to make the difficult decision to leave the daytime talk show. Thankfully, this was not a surprise since Kelly already knew about the news. The former soap star will co-host the show with her husband from now on.

The show toasted Ryan Seacrest with a glass of champagne. Mark Consuelos made an appearance with a cake that looked like a can of sardines. It was a running joke between the trio. The funny moment took an emotional turn as Mark shared some words with Ryan.

“You made it look easy when we all know it’s not,” Mark told him.

Also, in the show, Kelly cried as she called their time together the “fastest six years of my life.” She referred to Ryan as her little brother. Kelly called Ryan’s “generosity unmatched.” He will still temporarily fill-in whenever he’s in town and Mark is out.

LIVE! fans furious with the final episode

Meanwhile, the Live with Kelly and Ryan fans are fired up. They noticed something about Ryan Seacrest’s final episode that upset them. Many of them took to Twitter to react. They were sad to see that Friday’s episode was previously recorded.

“Why is this show even called Live anymore? Really disappointed that Ryan’s last show is pre-recorded,” one fan asked.

“I was thinking the same thing. Even his last day is pre-recorded. I don’t get it. With Mark coming on, they should change the name to the Kelly and Mark Show and drop the Live part,” another fan added.
