Ryan Seacrest has no bad blood for his former cohost. After leaving Live two years ago, the American Idol host opened up about where he stands with Kelly Ripa. “I love that show,” Seacrest told E! News after the American Idol’s Top 14 broadcast on April 28. “I had a blast doing it. Kelly and I are still the closest friends, Mark [Consuelos] too.” Consuelos is Ripa’s husband, who took over hosting duties for Ryan Seacrest when he left Live in 2023. The show was rebranded to Live With Kelly And Mark. Before Consuelos and Seacrest, Kelly hosted with Regis Philbin and Michael Strahan. He shared that the couple invited him to appear on the talk show “in a couple of weeks.” “So, I will be there. The trifecta, we’ll be on the set. I can’t wait to see them,” he said. Seacrest held the role of Live cohost for six years with Ripa.
