Kelly Ripa Recently Suffered Sad Loss
Kelly Ripa fans often see the popular talk show host upbeat and full of energy as she hosts her show with her husband, Mark Consuelos. However, based on recent updates from her, she and her family recently went through a tragic loss, and that loss still weighs heavily on the entire family.
No matter who you are or how successful you are, nothing compares to losing your fur baby. They become an integral member of the family. In Kelly Ripa’s case, she and Mark Consuelos had their furry family member, Chewie, for many years.
Over that time, they shared memories and built their life around Chewie. Before the eventual passing of their furry family member, Kelly shared some health updates that did not look good for Chewie. After almost 18 years as part of their lives, saying goodbye has been incredibly hard on both Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos.

Ripa Shares Touching Tribute To Chewie
While dealing with the pain of this loss and its aftermath, Kelly Ripa recently took to social media. She shared a heartfelt tribute to her furry family member. Dealing with this loss is incredibly hard on the entire family, and Ripa shared a video collage tribute to Chewie, as well as touching words.
Kelly Ripa wrote: “I’ve been avoiding posting this because it somehow makes it real and I’m not quite ready to let go. It’s been extremely painful to lose our beloved Chewie. We ache for her every single day. We still look for her and call to her and frankly feel lost. We are so grateful for the almost 18 years we had with this special lady. She grew up with our kids and remained at our sides when each left the nest. She waited by the front door to welcome her siblings back home when they returned from visits.”
Ripa went on to add: “She was our stoic constant companion. We know she is running free now somewhere warm and sunny, unburdened by her failing body. We were the luckiest family to have loved and been loved by Chewie. Thank you to The North Shore Animal League for blessing us with our fabulous girl.”
She concluded, saying: “Finally, thank you to everyone for the beautiful messages from all of you who knew or felt like you knew Chewie. Our hearts may be broken, but are filled with the memories of joy Chewie gave us.”
