Kelly Ripa admitted to getting a cosmetic procedure on an unconventional part of her body.
During a recent episode of her podcast, “Let’s Talk Off Camera,” the 55-year-old talk-show host opened up about getting microneedling done “on my a– cheeks,” after her guest, Lukas Gage shared he had recently undergone the treatment.
“I’m going to tell you something … just as old as before,” she said after Gage asked her if she saw an improvement. “Desperate times call for desperate measures.”

During a February episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark,” Ripa shared that the position she sleeps in causes her body to hurt in the morning, and when executive producer, Michael Gelman, suggested a possible solution, Ripa joked, “I don’t know how much more I can subject Mark to,” before showing the audience all of her nighttime products.
“Typically I put on this jelly mask that I sleep in,” she said while showing the audience the mask. “I sleep in it, and it melts into your skin. And in the morning, I peel it off, and it’s like a miracle. I look just like this.”
Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, met in 1995 on the set of “All My Children” and immediately connected. After a brief break-up, the couple got engaged and eloped in Las Vegas in May 1996.
Throughout their nearly 30 years of marriage, the couple have welcomed three children together: Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 23.

When speaking with Kylie Kelce on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast in August 2025, Ripa shared that people often ask her how she and Consuelos are able to “keep the spark alive” in their marriage, saying, “I don’t know what that means.”
“I think people think that you’re going to be in hot to trot love for the rest of your life,” she said. “We’ve been married for almost 30 years, so I am not sure what that means, but what I always say is you have to really like each other. And you have to love and respect each other. You have to have a like and love and respect for each other and all the other stuff… sort of falls into place.”
While Ripa claims not to know what some mean by “spark,” she can often be found posting thirst traps of her husband on Instagram on many occasions, most of which feature a shirtless Consuelos showing off his abs.
Other photos show the two of them giving a peek into their relationship.
