Kelly Ripa made a candid confession about why she believes she may have chosen the wrong career path – and it's all about her wide feet. On the July 23 episode of LIVE!, the host opened up about the topic during the "Stump Mark" segment.

"I have completed 9 marathons and I went wine stomping in Italy," shared a caller. "I'm gonna tell you what the secret is," replied Kelly.

"What's the secret?" asked Mark Consuelos. "You have to have wide feet; my feet are extremely wide," said Kelly, to which her husband agreed: "Yeah."

Kelly went on to explain why her wide feet have convinced her she's in the wrong industry. "And I didn't know why I was born with these wide feet. I never fall down. But I realized I'm meant to be a grape stomper...I'm like living in my wrong career path," she shared.

"Yeah, a lot of like cubic space," teased Mark. Kelly playfully responded to her husband with a funny joke. "Yeah, I'm like my feet are as wide as they are long. So, I'm basically just meant to mash grapes," she said.

"You're like four people," added Mark. "I'm four people for the size of one person," agreed Kelly.

The couple have long graced the screen with their playful relationship, becoming firm fan favourites and often teasing each other on the show. Mark – who shares kids Michael, Lola, and Joaquin, with his wife – joined LIVE! officially in 2023 following Ryan's departure. Ryan left the show due to the demands of traveling back and forth between his home in Los Angeles and the studio in New York, as well as his desire to focus on other projects.

However, the couple were initially hesitant about hosting the show alongside one another. "It was really about convincing Mark," Kelly revealed on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. "Because initially when they came to Mark, he flat out refused."

"I also thought that was kind of a bad idea," she shared. "I was like, a husband and a wife hosting a morning show is different from a husband and wife acting together or producing something together."

"We have been together for 31 years and we are not afraid to express ourselves publicly, there is no artifice," she added. "We’re not worried about protecting each other’s feelings. We both just say what is on our minds and I guess people find that relatable."

Back in February, Kelly celebrated 25 years at the helm of LIVE! Kelly took over for Kathie Lee Gifford as Regis Philbin's cohost in 2001 and has remained on the show ever since. Following Regis' exit in 2011, she was joined by Michael Strahan from 2012 to 2016 and Ryan Seacrest from 2017 to 2023.
