It will continue to be Michael and whoever can fill in on “LIVE! With Kelly and Michael.”
A day after Kelly Ripa was noticeably absent on the April 20 airing of “Live!” she will not appear alongside Michael Strahan in the coming days, according to sources.
A “beyond angry” Ripa is reportedly on her way to Turks and Caico with her children and husband, Mark Consuelos. The couple is said to have “long planned” this getaway as their 20th wedding anniversary gift. The couple will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary on May 1.
“It’s fortuitous that she had this trip planned with her husband and it wouldn’t be surprising if it started early,” the source said.
It couldn’t come at a more suspicious time.
Michael Strahan announced that he was leaving for Good Morning America in September. The April 19 announcement “blindsided” 45-year-old Ripa, who reportedly wasn’t given a heads-up. Despite the betrayal, Ripa intends to remain professional.
