Nowadays, when we think of Kelly Ripa, Live instantly comes to mind, given her lengthy run on the morning program. However, although she's great in the gig, things were different at one point in time. Replacing Kathie Lee Gifford, Ripa felt lots of pressure behind the scenes and wasn't sure of herself.

She revealed alongside People, "There was a lot of insecurity for all of us, not just myself. When I talk about the job, I talk about myself and all of the people that I work with because it's quite a group."

Ripa continues, "I was really contemplating whether or not I should leave the job, And it was a constant drumbeat," she said. "I was talking about it so much that it started to make my coworkers nervous."

And she said it's very nice to meet you.'"

The woman thanked Ripa for helping her during a tough time. She was watching Ripa at her mom's nursing home. Her mother struggled with dementia, and the show helped brighten the mood. This changed Ripa's entire perception and gave her the strength to continue on.

Ripa revealed alongside Page Six, “I will definitely include that time during the pandemic that I thought my husband got me pregnant," she stated about her upcoming book.

“I started taking pregnancy tests daily, but then Mark sort of gingerly said, ‘Could there be another reason why you’re not getting your period?’ and me saying, ‘What other reason could there possibly be?’ He really had to walk on eggshells here [by explaining to me that I was probably going through menopause].”
