This spirit of professional evolution is a family affair. As Ripa steers the ship at Live, Consuelos is currently embarking on a major career milestone of his own. In early 2026, it was announced that he would make his long-awaited Broadway debut in a production of Noël Coward’s 1925 play, Fallen Angels, at the Roundabout Theatre. Playing the role of the secret lover, Maurice Duclos, Consuelos is finally realizing a “longtime dream” made possible by being “anchored” in New York City due to his daily hosting duties. Adding a layer of poetic coincidence to this new chapter, the couple’s youngest son, Joaquin, a recent drama school graduate, is also making his Broadway debut simultaneously in Death of a Salesman. Ripa joked on-air about the “dilemma” of choosing which family member to support on any given night, a quintessential “Kelly moment” that highlights why her “humor and honesty” remain the bedrock of the show’s enduring appeal.
