"Live! with Kelly and Mark" has seemingly been progressing quite well since former co-host Ryan Seacrest departed the talk show earlier this year. His colleague, Kelly Ripa, and new on-air partner Mark Consuelos are proving they have great chemistry. Though that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise since they’re also married. While viewers seem to be taken with the couple’s dynamic, some have been concerned as of late due to Ripa’s absences. On that note, an insider is shedding light on why the veteran media personality hasn’t been present.

A number of capable entertainment talents have been filling in for the 52-year-old talk show host since she’s been out. And while those tapings seemed to go well, one can understand why one would be curious about her status. It sounds like fans shouldn’t be fretting, at this point, however.
