Wrapping up her first week back on Live With Kelly and Michael, Kelly Ripa took the opportunity to bring up the fact that her co-host has been divorced. 

On Friday, the show opened up with a discussion about “bird-nesting,” a practice where divorced parents alternate living in the same house to take care of their children. 

Ripa started the conversation by saying “There’s a great article in the paper and I want to get your take on it because I don’t have a take on it. But I want yours. So you’ve gotten divorced...” 

Strahan is twice divorced with four children, and appeared stunned by the question. Ripa has been married to her husband for over 20 years. 

“Did we talk about me locking my bedroom doors yesterday?” Strahan answered. “If I’m sharing the house with my ex every once in a while, and she can still get in with a key, I’m definitely locking the door...I couldn’t do that, we might as well stay married.”
