The ace host of "Live! With Kelly & Ryan" appeared on "Watch What Happens Live," She divulged that she's ready to water down the romance between her and Consuelos for the show.

Ripa, 52, revealed that she and the "Riverdale" alum took a chastity vow to keep their relationship as professional as possible before his official return as her co-host on the show.

She made the revelation while weighing in on the scandalous romance between former "GMA" co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, calling it "compelling."

"I know how ABC does not like that, you know, TV partners banging on the side," the "All My Children" alum told Andy Cohen, per E! News. "So, we promise, no banging on the side."

They have been married since 1996 and have three children: Michael, 25; Lola, 21; and Joaquin, 20.

Ripa's ascension to host of "Live!" didn't come without its share of turmoil, as she shared that she had to endure some seemingly sexist working conditions during her early days at the news network.

During a recent interview with Variety, she opened up about her struggle for decent office space, a private bathroom, and other benefits at the news network during her early days.

Ripa shared that getting an office space even after four years at ABC was an ordeal, as the unoccupied spaces were "reserved" for executives from the West Coast.

"It was the strangest experience I've ever had," she said. "I was told that I couldn't have an office. It didn't make much sense, especially because I could have easily occupied empty offices."

She revealed that after four years, the news network cleared out a janitor's closet for her to use as office space upon her insistence.

"After my fourth year, they finally cleaned the closet and put a desk there for me. And so I was working in the janitor's closet with a desk to have a place to put things," she said.

Ripa claimed that she was met with some resistance from ABC's executives, as they told her they were "saving" the space.

"I said, 'Saving it for what?' And they go, 'Well, for when the new guy comes,'" she said. "And I looked at them and said, 'I am the new guy. I just moved my things. I forced my way into the office because I couldn't understand how I would still be in the janitor's closet, and somebody new would come in and get the office."

According to Us Magazine, the "Hope & Faith" alum's husband, Mark Consuelos, is set to replace her co-host on the show, Ryan Seacrest.

After six years as co-host of the ABC show, Seacrest announced his exit in a February episode, and Ripa later revealed that Consuelos would take over permanently.

Ripa and Consuelos have a TV history together as they previously worked on "All My Children" in the 90s, where they fell in love and married.

The actor previously filled in for Seacrest several times before taking on a permanent position.

Ripa previously shared how she and her husband have been able to spice their sex life and stay connected.

On a recent episode of her "Let's Talk Off Camera" podcast, she divulged that they both have rituals as regards the topic.

"We had sexual rituals that were so ludicrous, but I became so alarmed at my appearance over FaceTime that I started hanging the computer on a ladder to look up to Mark [and] he did not have to see what gravity was doing," she shared.
