Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos Unveil Their New Temporary Studio Setup!

by

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are making do with a makeshift studio. 

Following the departure of the Live show’s team from their Upper West Side studio, which had served as the recording location for 37 years with previous hosts Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford, they are currently filming in a temporary setup. They will eventually move into their new studio located at Disney’s headquarters in Lower Manhattan.

On April 7th, Pedro Rivera of ABC7’s Eyewitness News posted: “Live with Kelly and Mark is being broadcast from the Great Hall at 7 Hudson Square.” He added, “What a fantastic setup!

In the image provided, the show is depicted exiting a building’s cafeteria, with the filming location situated in front of a large window that offers a glimpse of Manhattan’s impressive skyline. Cameramen are scattered across the area, and a temporary control room has been set up behind rows of plastic seats.

A look at Kelly and Mark’s short-term dwelling was recently provided, following the pair – parents of Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 22 – who shared a popular workspace, revealing details about their departure from the cherished studio.

In an interview with People on April 1st, I proudly declared that our children have deep roots in this place. I often found them visiting their mother here quite frequently – even when they were mere infants, they seemed to be drawn to the energy backstage.

Indeed, Kelly emphasized that she was taking her kids to the studio shortly after they were born. 

She pointed out, “In my days, maternity leave wasn’t commonplace. However, there was an advantage: I could bring my children to work with me. Since they were aware of our early schedule, given it was a live morning television show, I managed to balance being a dedicated mother and a committed professional.

And the couple’s kids also grew attached to the studio and everyone who made it up. 

In simpler terms, Kelly said that Lola doesn’t see some of the producers as just professionals; instead, she regards them more like fellow mothers.

This year, marking the first September in over two decades without sending a child to school, Kelly decided to fill the gap by revisiting an item from 2008.

It appears that Michael is preparing to surprise or outsmart his younger sister in the photograph their father posted for her 19th birthday in 2020.

Joaquin is surrounded by love at his high school graduation.

It seems that @instasuelos learned he wouldn’t share an apartment with @joaquinconsuelos in the autumn semester, and Kelly playfully hinted at this fact while they were both visiting Ann Arbor before Joaquin enrolled at the University of Michigan.

In March 2022, Kelly decided to take some time away for a few days to catch the Wolverines wrestling team in action at the Division 1 Wrestling Championships held in Detroit.

As a freshman, Joaquin chose not to participate in wrestling this time. However, Kelly expressed her feelings during her interview on Live, saying, “Seeing these young athletes takes a toll on me, aging me significantly.

In the summer of 2021, I was overjoyed to find myself among my cherished family, as we had long-awaited our journey to Greece and Italy. Alas, fate had other plans for us in the previous year due to the pandemic, but with resilience, we persevered and made it there at last.

Kelly mentioned that our family’s graduation trip, initially planned for last year for our eldest son and niece, ended up being postponed to such an extent that it became a trip to celebrate not just their graduations, but also the arrivals of our newborn family members instead.

From their beautiful Mediterranean vacation, they managed to capture a fantastic family photo which became their choice for the 2021 holiday greeting card, selected by Kelly.

In a playful manner, Kelly titled this old picture, “Wishing you a Happy Easter from the year 2012, as it was given Lola’s seal of approval.” She always takes advantage of every opportunity to poke fun at her teenage child on social media.

Mark wished the “spectacular women” in his life a happy International Women’s Day. 

“Happy Valentine’s Day to the loves of my life!” Kelly wrote from the heart on Feb. 14, 2022.

Kelly celebrated the fruits of her labor on National Sons Day, Sept. 28, 2021.

Kelly and Mark’s oldest child, their son Michael Consuelos who was 24 years old at the time, shared this heartwarming throwback photo on his mother’s 51st birthday in 2021, saying, “Happy Birthday, Mom!! I wish you the best day ever. You’re amazing and a role model for all. When I call you a T-Rex, it’s a compliment. By now, I think you should be aware of that.

Last August 2020, Kelly Ripa posted a stunning reenactment of an old family photo from 2003 on Instagram. With her youngest son Joaquin in her arms and her older children Michael and Lola positioned just right, they truly managed to recreate the original image, even though as Kelly pointed out, “things might seem bigger.

In May 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kelly and Mark celebrated their eldest son Michael’s graduation from New York University virtually. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Kelly posted on Instagram: “In an instant, you graduated college. MJC, the happiness and pride you have brought our family is beyond words. I love you deeply.

In a nostalgic throwback post on Instagram, I, as a dedicated follower of Kelly’s journey, expressed the transformation time has brought about, comparing 2011 to 2019: “Walls have become smaller!” This was because I noticed how much her kids had grown over the years.

“The Graduate #2019,” Kelly wrote on Instagram celebrating Lola’s final days of high school. 

Kelly receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015 was an all-hands-on-deck event.

Kelly matched her son’s gown and the flowers at Joaquin’s middle school graduation.

If your family is as stunning as a picture, you’ll probably find yourself taking selfies much more frequently than usual.

Holidays always bring family together and this famous crew is no exception. 

In the year 2003, Kelly and her spouse, Mark Consuelos, rejoiced at the premiere of “A Year With Frog and Toad” at Maxine’s, located in the bustling city of New York.

In the year 2001, Mark and Kelly attended the premiere of “ATLANTIS: The Lost Empire” with their son, held at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City.

Regardless if they’re headed to a warm, tropical destination or a chilly, snow-covered one, this family is consistently adept at enjoying themselves.
