Attending the Broadway opening of Sunset Boulevard at the St. James Theatre in Manhattan, Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, showcased their strong bond as a couple.

The event took place on a lively Sunday night, setting the stage for the duo to steal the spotlight.

A Dazzling Ensemble

Kelly, 54, made a striking impression in a stunning black lace and green silk slip dress, elegantly paired with a chic black blazer and sparkling pumps.

Her look was curated by stylist Audrey Slater-Spiegel, highlighting her fashion-forward sense.

Meanwhile, Mark, 53, looked sharp in a classic black suit, complete with a crisp white shirt, necktie, and polished boots, all styled by Ashley Pruitt.

Together, they embodied a picture-perfect couple.

Glamorous Details

Kelly’s signature blonde waves were beautifully styled by hairstylist Ryan Trygstad, while make-up artist Kristofer Buckle perfected her look with a flawless contour and luscious lashes.

With 5.3 million followers on social media, Kelly shared glimpses of their night on Instagram Stories, declaring the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, starring Nicole Scherzinger, as “simply brilliant!”

Red Carpet Charm

As the cameras flashed, Kelly channeled Norma Desmond’s iconic line, playfully declaring, “I’m ready for my close-up!”

Mark, always the supportive partner, chimed in with a playful response: “She’s ready!”

Their camaraderie was palpable, making them a delightful sight on the red carpet.

A Touch of Controversy

This public appearance marked their first since an awkward on-air discussion about the increasing number of “gray divorces” among older couples.

In an episode aired on October 11th, Kelly recounted how a thought-provoking article had sparked a conversation between them, which left Mark feeling defensive.

She humorously recalled telling him, “Oh, I want one,” but quickly reassured viewers that they still share plenty in common.

Family Focus

As proud empty nesters, the couple has three children: Michael, 27, a budding actor; Lola, 23, a talented singer; and Joaquin, 21, who is currently studying at the University of Michigan.

The journey of parenthood has kept them grounded and connected, even as their kids pursue their own paths.

From Gym Buddies to Life Partners

Kelly and Mark’s love story began in 1995 when they first met at a gym, later portraying onscreen lovers Hayley and Mateo on the soap opera All My Children.

They eloped in 1996 at the Chapel of the Bells in Las Vegas after just a year of dating.

This February, the couple made a nostalgic visit back to the place where their journey began.

Award-Winning Duo

On June 7, they celebrated a significant milestone by winning the Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding entertainment talk show hosts during their inaugural season together.

However, they chose to skip the ceremony to spend quality time with Lola in London, where she has recently moved.
