Kelly Ripa sparked weight worries last year when a photo of her with husband Mark Consuelos raised the alarm. In April 2024, the talk show host showed off her petite frame in a slinky, cut-out dress and heels, looking her usual glamorous self as she flaunted her figure and her marriage. Kelly, who has been married to co-host Mark since 1996, looked incredible in her red gown, but for some, she was looking way too skinny. Users suggested that Kelly was underweight, with one hater aggressively suggesting that she "eat a sandwich." Kelly is known for being slender and has always confirmed that her relationship with food is healthy.

Scroll for the photo. Posing indoors and looking ready for the red carpet, Kelly drew the eye to her sculpted shoulders and defined biceps while flaunting her teeny waist.
The Live! host, who opted for a sleeveless dress with side cut-outs and a two-piece feel, flashed her killer silhouette while rocking a golden tan, looking fitter than ever but, for some, a tad on the skinny side.

The former All My Children star wore her signature blonde tresses down, adding warming makeup, plus red heels with a pointed toe. Meanwhile, her discreet diamond bangle added low-key flourishes. Mark, who looked dapper in a suit and tie, looked every inch the handsome hubby as he posed with his wife.
Comments came flying in as Hello! Canada shared the photo on Instagram. "Little people...she doesn't EAT," one fan said. "Eat a sandwich," another wrote. A third called Kelly Ripa "too skinny," with a fourth gaining likes for saying: "She has been looking very thin." Kelly has never admitted to suffering from an eating disorder. She's even revealed exactly what she eats.

Kelly Ripa is alcohol-free, and she's just as careful with her nutrition. The mom of three fuels up with oatmeal and chopped fruit, plus nut butter in the morning, and also gets in plenty of caffeine before her morning gig. Kelly is also a fan of salads with microgreens and avocados. She'll also pack in more protein via tofu or fish for dinner. As for a sweet treat, Kelly is partial to avocado chocolate mousse.
