Kelly Ripa In Strapless Swimsuit Is 'Inspiration' To Lose Weight

Kelly Ripa had fans gasping as she showed off her sensational swimwear body on Instagram earlier this year. In a January share showing off her 2024 body, the talk show host dropped jaws with her impossibly toned physique as she posed poolside, also making it a couples moment as she cozied up to husband Mark Consuelos. Delivering her usual witty caption as she talked "Captains Underpants," Kelly found herself flooded by comments on her body, including some seeing fans calling her "inspiration" to drop a few pounds. The post is now topped by a joking comment from close friend Lisa Rinna, who kidded that Kelly and Mark had "let themselves go."

Scroll for the photo. Enjoying a luxurious, sun-soaked New Year's break with her cohost husband, Kelly snuggled up to Mark as she two stood by a pool and backed by ocean waters.

Sizzling as she flashed her toned legs and shoulders while also showing off her peachy rear, the mom of three went skintight in a patterned bathing suit that clung to her frame, opting for green and gold leaf prints on a sexy black backdrop. Showing the trim waistline The Blast photos have so many times documented, Kelly added in shades as she wore her blonde hair down, placing one hand on Mark's bulging bicep as he posed shirtless in swim trunks.

Gaining over 4,000 likes as she joked about how toned Kelly and Mark are, former Bravo star Lisa Rinna wrote: "I’m sorry to see that you’ve both just let yourselves go. Let’s do better in 2024." Others also remarked on how in shape the Live! hosts are, with one fan replying: "Seriously?? This is my inspiration for losing the 15 lbs I gained over the holidays…" as others agreed.

Kelly has opened up about her workout regimen, one that's varied and fits around her daytime TV schedule. In 2019, the star revealed: “I was talking to a cardiologist and he said to make sure your heart beats out of your chest every day. The more you exercise, the healthier it is. And I can be honest: My body looks like Peter Pan no matter what I do,” adding: “I’ve never been a va-va-voom woman. I like to take AKT — which is cardio-based dance classes — about four to five days a week between 3 and 5 p.m. And I like to do SoulCycle on the weekends.

Earlier this year, Kelly's trainer, Anna Kaiser, revealed that her famous client has about 14% body fat, this after a fan assumed that Kelly might be as low as 8%. Kelly is known for clean eating, but she has made holiday headlines for having a McRib delivered to her NYC townhouse during a snowstorm.
