Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are done waiting to hear back from their kids. The married couple and co-hosts of Live with Mark and Kelly may have been a little pressed for time when it comes to getting their Christmas card together this year. As a result, they’ve cut them out of a notable pic this year, replacing them with some reality TV stars.
Kelly and Mark, who previously met on the set of All My Children, have been co-hosting Live together since 2023.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders made the cut instead of the children
Kelly and Mark are sending out some holiday cheer, though there are three notable absentees on this year’s Christmas card. Their children aren’t on the card this time around. Instead, the two TV hosts chose members of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. You may recognize many of the faces from the Netflix docuseries America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
Kelly told People that the kids “complained that they’re not in the Christmas card this year.” She explained her message to the three kids was, “I’m tired of waiting around for you to approve a picture. I’ve got to move.”
The Christmas photo came out after the cheerleaders performed a rendition of Santa Claus is Coming to Town to conclude the show’s Halloween Special. While it doesn’t seem like they take joy out of cutting their kids out this year, they’re confident the card is going to be great. In November, Kelly generated controversy for allegedly swearing on the air.
This year wasn’t the first time Kelly and Mark omitted their kids from the Christmas greetings. Previously, Mark used a photo of himself alongside the cast of the show Riverdale for a holiday card. Mark portrayed Hiram Lodge on the show, winning a Teen Choice Award for Best Villain in 2018.
