Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, the newly appointed co-hosts of ‘Live’, embarked on their first week with a lighthearted couple’s yoga segment.
During the Wednesday episode, the married duo, both aged 52, engaged in a comical yoga session that showcased their intimate connection.
Ripa initially approached Consuelos with the suggestion of couple’s yoga, but he expressed reservations. However, Ripa persisted, reasoning that the practice could enhance her flexibility.
“I’m flexible, but I believe I could be more flexible,” Ripa explained, eliciting a smirk from Consuelos.
“I’m bendy, but I’m not as bendy as I ought to be,” Ripa remarked, drawing laughter from the audience.
The couple was then joined by Colleen Saidman and Rodney Yee, founders of Yoga Shanti, who guided them through a series of poses.
Amidst their struggle to execute the poses, Ripa quipped, “What happens when you hear ripping and tearing?”
The playful banter between Ripa and Consuelos has become a hallmark of their relationship, which they have nurtured for 27 years since meeting on the set of ‘All My Children’. Consuelos has made numerous guest appearances on ‘Live’, reaching a total of 92 episodes before assuming the role of permanent co-host.
“It feels like a homecoming,” Consuelos remarked. “They showed a montage of me today, and I’ve been coming here for 27 years! It’s long been my favorite show, so to be working here now and see my name on the show is truly surreal.”
“It’s wonderful for me because he’s my favorite person to be around, so spending time with him every day here is the ideal scenario for me,” Ripa added.
The couple expressed their excitement at spending more time together, even during their preparations for the show. “We’ll either carpool or walk here, which will be delightful. And we don’t plan our conversations in advance; everything we discuss during the host chat is spontaneous. But we’ll have that time together, which will be lovely,” Ripa said.
