Mark Consuelos – Breaks His Silence

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos made time for a joint interview with Entertainment Tonight. Her husband shared his thoughts on the rumors that Kelly could step down from the talk show.

He admitted they already had a conversation about the possibility of it happening. Kelly revealed last month that she would retire, but she isn’t set on making it a reality.

“I think it’s a real thing,” Mark Consuelos told Entertainment Tonight. “She’s been at that for 23 years. I don’t think it’s gonna be anytime soon. I know she’s having a good time, I’m having a really, really good time. But at some point, yeah. When she does decide to walk away, no one’s earned it more than her.”

Mark continued to praise his wife during the interview. He admits that she’s been working hard ever since she was a child star.

Kelly Ripa – Considers Retirement

In her interview with Purist magazine, Kelly Ripa admitted that retiring is a nice thought. She also talked about how she is “doing one of the most challenging and scary things,” which is hosting a live show on her own. Kelly also hinted that it’s not something she wants to do for the rest of her life.

“Having said that, I don’t intend to work at this job for the rest of my life. I do talk about retirement with great interest, but right now I’m very happy, especially working with Mark,” she said.

The possibility of retirement came after Mark and Kelly became empty nesters. All three of their children moved out of their home.
