Kelly Ripa plans to retire from Live! with Kelly and Mark one day, but for now, she’s happy to continue hosting the show alongside her husband, Mark Consuelos.
The 52-year-old morning show host opened up to The Purist about why she’s stayed at Live! for so long and what her future might look like.

Kelly admitted that she’s a bit “risk-averse,” which may explain why she’s remained at the program for more than two decades. “I like to stick with what I know,” she said. “I am very steadfast in everything I do, and so when you have me, you have me for life.”
The TV personality added, “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.”
Kelly and Mark have been married since 1996. In March, Kelly revealed that when they’re apart from each other, they use Facetime to stay connected. “We had sexual rituals that were so ludicrous over FaceTime,” she spilled.
Fortunately, it seems like the duo will continue to see each other often as they’re planning to keep working together for the time being.
