Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos put on a strong united front at Broadway opening – after awkward ‘gray divorce’ discussion
Kelly Ripa and her husband-turned-cohost Mark Consuelos put on a strong united front while attending the Broadway opening of Sunset Boulevard, which was held at the St. James Theatre in Manhattan on Sunday night.
The 54-year-old Jersey Girl took the plunge in a black lace and green silk slip dress beneath a black blazer and bedazzles pumps selected by stylist Audrey Slater-Spiegel.
The Spanish 53-year-old looked dapper as usual in a classic black suit and necktie with a crisp white shirt, pocket square, and glossy boots selected by stylist Ashley Pruitt.
Hairstylist Ryan Trygstad coiffed Kelly’s signature blonde waves and make-up artist Kristofer Buckle fully contoured her complexion and applied lashes.
Ripa – who boasts 5.3M social media followers – Instastoried two snaps and said of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical starring Nicole Scherzinger: ‘Simply brilliant!’

The petite perky presenter also performed Norma Desmond’s iconic line while on the red carpet: ‘I’m ready for my close-up!’
Mark replied: ‘She’s ready!’
It was the first public event the LIVE with Kelly and Mark co-hosts attended since their awkward on-air discussion about the ‘gray divorces’ skyrocketing among aging boomers growing apart after raising their children.
‘I was reading this article, and I started talking to Mark about it, and Mark got very defensive,’ Kelly revealed in the October 11th episode.
Consuelos responded: ‘You came home from the trip and you were like, “I read this amazing article!”‘
Ripa said the narrator’s voice in the article was so convincing she thought, ‘Oh, I want one,’ but stressed: ‘We still have a lot in common, okay.’
The empty nesters are proud parents of 27-year-old actor Michael, 23-year-old singer Lola, and 21-year-old wrestler Joaquin still attending the University of Michigan.
Kelly and Mark originally met at a gym in 1995 before playing onscreen lovers Hayley and Mateo on the ABC soap opera All My Children.
Ripa and Consuelos famously eloped at the Chapel of the Bells in Las Vegas in 1996 after only a year of dating and, in February, they went back for a visit.
On June 7, the inseparable couple won the Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding entertainment talk show host for their first season hosting together, but wound up skipping the ceremony to spend time with Lola in London where she moved.
