‘Live’: Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos Have Theory Why They Always Get Sick During Holidays

On the Friday, December 5 episode, Kelly Ripa said they always get sick during the holidays because their bodies 'know' when they can fall ill, and she added that stress is not the reason.
At the time, during a pandemic-era outbreak, the studio closed after their final taping, and their children tested positive one by one, while Consuelos contracted the virus and Ripa quarantined family members individually.
Ripa described her protective measures at home, saying she wore a mask, `hazmat suit` and gloves, remaining COVID-free for the remainder of the break while her family recovered.
Earlier this week on the Thursday, December 4 episode, Ripa said she is `way behind` on Christmas gifts, and Consuelos suggested skipping presents this year, which Ripa joked would mean `two less gifts`.
Their story illustrates how outbreaks reshaped the couple's work schedule and family life, with Ripa prioritizing her scheduled time off and avoiding illness during breaks .
