Yet Ripa had been in the entertainment business for decades before becoming a talk show host.
Ripa has undergone a stunning transformation over the years.
Their on-screen romance quickly ventured off screen and the couple eloped in Las Vegas in 1996.

That’s when she let it slip that she was pregnant again.
The big reveal came when trying out for Live!
Only she and her husband Mark knew.

Little did Ripa know that a psychic would be scheduled to appear on the show.
Ripa immediately teared up and laughed uncomfortably.
Margolis pressed her and said the baby was coming on and then asked if she was pregnant.

Ripa went on to give birth to a daughter, Lola, the following June.
The couple completed their family in 2003 when their last baby, Joaquin was born.
