Live with Kelly and Mark” aired its final episode at its iconic Upper West Side studio on April 1, ending a 37-year era at 7 Lincoln Square. Home to legends like Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford, the studio was a sentimental cornerstone for Kelly Ripa, a host since 2001, and Mark Consuelos, her co-host and husband since April 2023. The couple shared with PEOPLE that their three kids—Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 22—grew up backstage,
with Ripa bringing them to work daily. The studio also reunited them in 1996 during a pivotal Mother’s Day special, sparking their Vegas wedding. As “Live” moves to ABC’s new 7 Hudson Square headquarters, Ripa and Consuelos reflect on the irreplaceable memories and the exciting new chapter ahead.
