When it comes to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, Ryan Seacrest will always be a part of their family.
On Friday, Feb. 28, Seacrest, 50, who made his final appearance as Ripa’s co-host on Live with Kelly and Ryan in April 2023, joined her husband (and current co-host), 53, for a workout at the Alo Wellness Club.
“Ran into the only client I train 💪🏻,” Seacrest shared on Instagram. His post began with a video of him and Consuelos working out together.

“Just doing my situps here in LA,” says Consuelos before Seacrest appears onscreen, saying, “Just getting my stretch in. I’m flexible today.”
The video was followed by a photo of the two smiling from ear to ear and a selfie of the television personalities flexing their biceps. Ripa, 54, shared Seacrest’s post on her Instagram Stories, writing, “Posh Dudes in LA.”
It’s no surprise that Seacrest and Consuelos are good friends, as Consuelos took over Seacrest’s co-hosting role on April 17, 2023.
Seacrest announced he was leaving his co-host position in February 2023 after joining the syndicated ABC daytime show in 2017. He shared at the time that he was planning on moving back to the West Coast ahead of the American Idol live shows in Los Angeles.
After making his debut on the show, which was renamed Live with Kelly and Mark, Consuelos told PEOPLE that Seacrest had left him a sweet parting gift.
“He left all his furniture, which is amazing. He left me a beautiful hand-written note with a gorgeous photograph of Steve McQueen. It’s going to go right there on the wall,” said Consuelos.
The Riverdale actor shared with PEOPLE that the note had “just a nice message of encouragement.”
“Ryan’s the best, and he’s been so supportive of this move. I am so appreciative of his friendship and the warm words he’s shown me,” he said, referring to the gesture as “a very peaceful transfer of power.”
Ripa told PEOPLE that viewers should look forward to a seamless transition ahead of the change since Consuelos and Seacrest are “like brothers.”

“Ryan is like my — I always say is like my brother, but he’s also like my oldest child,” she told PEOPLE in early April 2023. “So you know, it’s gonna be seamless.”
