Kelly Ripa Assigns Funeral Duties, Banning Husband from Dressing Her

Kelly Ripa has designated her longtime producer, Michael Gelman, to oversee her future funeral, explicitly excluding her husband, Mark Consuelos, from the role of dressing her. During a recent episode of 'Live with Kelly and Mark,' Ripa outlined her requirements for a destination funeral, stating that her stylist must handle her appearance. She cited a past incident where Consuelos dressed her in a green leotard, soccer pants, and high heels for an emergency room visit as the reason for this strict division of labor. Ripa confirmed that Consuelos’s role will be limited to attending and delivering a eulogy, while Gelman will ensure all other logistical requests are met. This announcement follows Consuelos’s recent major toe surgery for arthritis, which Ripa accompanied him to undergo in September.
