Part 4/5:
The partnership between Ripa and Consuelos goes beyond their role as co-hosts; it’s a love story that began on the set of the soap opera All My Children. Before their marriage in 1996, the couple faced a brief breakup, only to find themselves reunited for a mandatory work event shortly thereafter. Mark recounted the moment as a pivotal realization, saying, "Obviously seeing her, it was like this is the worst decision of my life; I have to be with her forever." Their impromptu trip to Las Vegas the next day to tie the knot symbolizes how the studio has been the backdrop for many life-changing moments.
