Kelly Ripa And Mark Consuelos Embrace Casual Chic In NYC

Lukas Jast 16 May 2025

When it comes to staying cozy and comfortable, Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, know how to do it right. Just weeks after their holiday photo stirred up quite a buzz online, the couple was spotted stepping out in stylish yet relaxed streetwear. On a chilly January day, the dynamic duo left their New York City apartment dressed in sweatpants, proving that even TV personalities need a break from their polished on-screen looks.

Keeping It Casual in the City That Never Sleeps

On Wednesday, January 17, Kelly, 53, and Mark, 52, were all about comfort as they ventured outside their Manhattan apartment. The cohosts of Live With Kelly and Mark opted for laid-back attire, which is a far cry from their usual business casual ensembles that grace our screens each morning. It’s refreshing to see them embracing a more casual style while navigating the bustling streets of NYC, where fashion meets functionality.

Braving the Snow for Work

As winter swept into New York City, bringing with it a flurry of snow, Mark couldn’t help but wonder if the weather would grant them a much-needed day off. But Kelly, ever the seasoned professional, quickly shot down the idea during an episode of Live on Monday, January 15. “No, are you kidding?” she playfully teased her husband. “Let me walk you through what happens. We’ll trek across Central Park in the snow, and when we arrive at the studio, it’ll be eerily quiet. There won’t be a soul in sight.”

Kelly went on to reveal the reality of snow days for the show. While the studio might seem deserted, it’s the behind-the-scenes crew who steps up to keep things running smoothly. “On these snowy days, it’s usually the disgruntled producers, interns, and various unsung heroes from the building who become our audience,” she explained, highlighting the dedication of her team.

From Viral Sensation to Casual Comfort

Just a few weeks prior, the couple made headlines with a holiday photo that sparked quite the conversation on social media. In the picture, Kelly appeared sans pants, much to the surprise—and criticism—of her followers. Comments flooded in, many pointing out the glaring omission. “Kelly forgot to put on pants,” one user quipped, while others echoed similar sentiments about her “missing” pants.
