This wasn’t the first time the couple faced online scrutiny. A few weeks earlier, Ripa had posted a throwback photo from a red carpet event. While most fans responded with enthusiasm, one commenter made a remark about Consuelos’s height. The actor responded with lighthearted humor, writing, “Let me know how I can ‘look taller.’ I’m all ears.” Ripa joined in with a playful response, showing the couple’s signature sense of humor and mutual support.
Together for over two decades, Ripa and Consuelos have raised three children and built a lasting partnership that continues to inspire fans. Their ability to respond to public criticism with grace and humor shows that confidence and kindness go hand in hand.
At the end of the day, Kelly Ripa’s story is a reminder that joy, love, and self-confidence are not defined by age—and that celebrating yourself should never go out of style.
