Kelly Ripa says publishing her first book, Live Wire, is about 'correcting the record' — and she does so on topics including her complicated relationship with former co-host Regis Philbin, aging on camera and her marriage to Mark Consuelos.
host, 51, tells Yahoo Entertainment about her book of short stories."If a person says something and it's not true or inaccurate, we are trained to just take the high road, to never set the record straight no matter how detrimental it is to our own sanity, reputation, work life."
There's a common misconception about the nature of these jobs on camera. I'm in a unique working situation right now with Ryan Seacrest because we have had a 20-year friendship. But most people think that is everybody on TV. And that is very seldom the case. Mark and I and our marriage sort of evolved over time. For me, it was love at first sight. Slowly over time, he fell in love too. Writing about our marriage was a very unique thing because I did allow him to have veto power, and he did veto some of the stories. When you're raising a family, it's not always the spark. It's not always hot. It's not always sexy. Sometimes you are just working parents. And that's what we were for many years.
