Live! with Kelly and Mark is often a family affair for multiple reasons.

During a recent episode on the show, Ripa herself discussed an unfortunate weekend that saw her family avoid her. In addition, Ripa also touched on what it was like seeing her family grow up.
Kelly Ripa Recently Talked About A Lonely Weekend
Ripa and Consuelos famously met while on All My Children in the mid-1990s. Not only were their characters each other’s love-interests, the two would soon elope in real life.
In 2023, Consuelos would officially join Ripa as a co-host on her talk show, making the series, Live! with Kelly and Mark. Ripa had originally joined Live! back in 2021, previously hosting with Regis Philbin, Michael Strahan, and Ryan Seacrest.
With their shared hosting duties, Ripa and Consuelos’ lives together often comes up on the show. A recent Monday episode, however, had Ripa discuss an interesting weekend. As she shared, “I was in bed this weekend.”
“With the worst cold. I was starting to get it at the end of last week and I understand that I probably sound worse now. But I’m much better. So, I want you all to know..!”
However, Ripa hinted she didn’t get too much consoling from her family. As she noted, “Saturday was the day that was really bad. Mark was like ‘This is something!'”
“I knew because he stayed away from me all day. One bad cough around Consuelos and he retreats. I don’t know where he was!”
Mark tried to reassure her, saying, “It sounded like a nice cute baby seal.” Ripa also noted, “I’m fine now.”
Kelly Ripa Has Also Talked About Her & Consuelos Becoming Empty-Nesters
Ripa then noted that she had been busy the past few weeks, covering the Oscars for Live, Santa Barbara, and Michigan. During her travels, she got to visit her youngest son, Joaquin.
At the time, Joaquin was in a production of A Few Good Men. It was also his 22nd birthday. The family had gathered in Ann Arbour to celebrate.
Notably, Joaquin will graduate later in 2025. He was also notably the first of Kelly and Mark’s children to attend college outside of New York City.
Commenting on this, Ripe noted, “We became empty nesters. We took our youngest son to college, we dropped him off. It was hard. It was really hard. We dropped him off at school and we gave him a hug — it was actually brutally painful. And I said, ‘I did not realize that 18 years would go so fast.'”
As noted by Hello! Magazine, Ripa and Consuelos have often given back to, and effectively have become part of, the Ann Arbor community. Ripa even participated in the Michigan Medicine Women’s Health Luncheon back in 2023.
