Kelly Ripa may not always be sweet as seen on TV. There are people like Michael Strahan, who she had a strained relationship with off-screen and can be difficult to work with, but when she's with the right people, she is the best friend anyone could ever ask for. If there is something that Kelly could do unlike Ellen DeGeneres, that is showing love and support to her assistant Lauren Travaglione.

Their relationship is like that of sisters, as both posted birthday tributes to each other on Instagram. Lauren said to Kelly on Instagram a week ago, sharing of photo of them as well, "Happy Birthday to the sister I never had, but always needed. I love you @kellyripa ❤️." It's safe to say the feeling was mutual when Lauren had her birthday yesterday, as Kelly shared throwback photos of them together, Lauren with Kelly's daughter Lola, and photos of her family.

Fans also happily wished her for a great birthday, and with how much love was given to her from Kelly's fans, that shows how beloved she is for the hard work she does for Kelly after so many years. Even if they're not biological sisters, they are still sisters from a strong and endearing bond.
