Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos are known for their playful banter, but recent news about T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach’s relationship at work has made Ripa cautious. In a recent talk on “Watch What Happens Live,” Ripa mentioned that she and her husband have decided to keep things professional to avoid any issues with ABC, where they both work.
Despite their joking, working with a romantic partner can bring about concerns. Ripa and Consuelos, married for over 25 years, are set to perform together on “Live,” adding a new dimension to their relationship. While they aren’t used to working together, having appeared on various TV shows as a couple, there’s always a risk of conflicts in a professional setting.
One past issue involved Consuelos feeling jealous, as mentioned by Ripa during a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s “Let’s Talk Off Camera.” Consuelos considers it an “honor” to join his wife on the show, and Ripa has previously praised him for being welcoming.
It’s uncertain how their dynamic will affect the show, but one can expect Ripa and Consuelos to maintain strict professionalism.
