Workplace romances can be complicated, and with the recent news of T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach’s relationship, it’s no wonder that Kelly Ripa is taking precautions to ensure that her upcoming co-hosting gig with her husband Mark Consuelos stays professional.
In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Ripa made light of the situation, joking that she and her husband have taken a vow of chastity to avoid any drama with ABC higher-ups.
While the couple’s banter may be playful, it does raise some valid concerns about the challenges of working alongside a romantic partner.
Workplace relationships can be tricky to navigate, especially when there’s a power dynamic involved, and it’s important to set boundaries to maintain a professional environment.
Ripa and Consuelos have been married for over 25 years, and their upcoming co-hosting gig on Live will undoubtedly be a new chapter in their relationship.
While the couple is no stranger to working together – they’ve acted alongside each other on numerous TV shows – there’s always the risk of conflicts arising in a professional setting.
One issue that has come up in the past is Consuelos’s jealousy, which Ripa addressed during a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera.
While the couple has moved past this issue, it highlights the challenges that can arise when personal and professional relationships intersect.
Despite the potential challenges, Ripa and Consuelos seem excited about their upcoming gig on Live.
Consuelos called it an “honor” to join his wife on the show, and Ripa has praised her husband’s hosting abilities in the past.
It remains to be seen how their dynamic will play out on the show, but one thing is for sure – Ripa and Consuelos will be keeping things strictly professional.
