Kelly Ripa Bikini Photo Sparks Online Debate, In March 2018, Mark Consuelos shared a photo of his wife, Kelly Ripa, in a bikini during their vacation, captioning it “The sexy one.” While many praised Ripa’s confidence and figure at 47, some critics slammed her outfit as “inappropriate” for her age.

Trolls accused Ripa of seeking attention and abandoning her wholesome image. But fans quickly rallied to her defense, applauding her body positivity and calling out the age-based shaming.

Consuelos stood by Ripa, responding with humor and continuing to post photos proudly. The couple’s playful back-and-forth—Ripa even joked about his height—highlighted their strength and unity.

Married for over 20 years with three children, Ripa and Consuelos continue to show that love, confidence, and humor are the best answers to online criticism.
