Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos dress as celeb couple for Halloween show
'LIVE' hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos dressed as this celeb couple for the Halloween show
Kelly Ripa is baring it all with her tips for future empty nesters.
The mom of three offered some advice about kids leaving home to "Your Friends & Neighbors" star Amanda Peet on the May 26 episode of "Live with Kelly and Mark" alongside husband and co-host Mark Consuelos.
"Let me just say this," Ripa said. "The first one is like a bit of a shock. Each one, the second one, is like, no big deal. Third one, for 24 to 48 hours, you're going to be like, 'Oh my gosh, what have we done now? Now it's just us.'
"And then your entire life becomes nudity in the household wherever you want. Total freak show all the time," the daytime star added as Consuelos smiled wide and the audience laughed.
"Wow, good to know!" Peet said jokingly, telling the married "Live" co-hosts that she didn't "want to cry" about her eldest daughter moving "very far away" to the "opposite coast."
Ripa and Consuelos, who have been married since 1996, share Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 22. The couple's youngest son graduated from the University of Michigan earlier this month.
'The White Lotus' star Aimee Lou Wood revealed she's 'very anti-Botox.' She's not alone.
Peet shares daughter Frances Benioff, 18, with her "Games of Thrones" creator husband David Benioff, and the pair have two younger children: Molly, 15, and Henry, 10.
Peet said that she sends Frances Benioff advice over text but told Ripa and Consuelos that "I get one reply for every 10 texts I send her." Ripa related with the sentiment, saying that she "sent my kids when they graduated, all of these articles on like 'The best things people look for when hiring,'" and she said, "Nobody reads anything."
Consuelos and Ripa said their kids have told them that "you were right" about "everything." During her own childhood, Peet said "it was a secret thing" that she "thought" her parents were cringeworthy.

Don 'Dog Patch Legend' Youngblood passes away at 86
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — He was a local legend known for his generosity, holiday traditions, and decades of service along Jacksboro highway. This evening, Wichita Falls is mourning the loss of Don Youngblood. Whether you know him from his giveaways or just stopped by for gas and a conversation, Don Youngblood left a mark on just about everyone he met. He passed away Sunday at the age of 86, but his legacy lives on through the kindness he shared throughout the community. For more than six decades, Youngblood's service station on Jacksboro highway was more than a pit stop, it was a community staple, and Don Youngblood was at the heart. Known to some as 'The Dog Patch Legend', Youngblood was a familiar face to generations of customers, meeting everyone with a smile, jokes or a story, but it was every Halloween when don's generosity truly took center stage. 'He wanted Christmas to be equal for kids, but since he couldn't do that, he made it happen for Halloween. So, everybody, parents and children each got a can coke and a snickers bar and then in the parking lot of Youngbloods, he would raffle off 10 brand new girl bicycles and 10 brand new boy bicycles,' Don's longtime friend, Diane said. For Don, it wasn't about the recognition, it was about giving people a reason to smile, something Don did until the very end. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
