Kelly Ripa is known for keeping fans very in the know when it comes to her personal life. I mean hello — how many times have we seen Kelly post an NSFW selfie with her longtime hubby, Marc Consuelos? However, when it comes to her professional life, Kelly is pretty tight-lipped.
Now, for the first time, Kelly is breaking down her relationship with the late Regis Philbin in her new tell-all book, Live Wire.
The pair worked together for 10 years before Regis left the show in 2011.
"I, like most of the viewing public, felt like I knew him, but to expect two people from such different generations to have some sort of weird, forced friendship when they never knew each other is a very strange thing to put on one person."
She goes on to say she and her late co-host had "a very professional working relationship" during their decade on-air together.
I think that sounds fair enough, right?
"That’s why I address it in the book. We had a professional working relationship and that’s what we had and that’s OK, because we are from different generations, we had different friend groups and we had different professional backgrounds."
"It took me five years to learn to look into the camera, because I was trained to never break the fourth wall. I am coming from the acting world, so there is no class for this, they didn’t teach me how to do this. You learn on the job."
Well, it's safe to say she's done a great job in the now 21 YEARS she's been hosting!
