IT HAPPENS, SOMETIMES –
Jan. 22, 2025 – Ripa, 54, opened up about the subject during the episode of Live With Kelly and Mark while speaking with guest co-host Andy Cohen, who was filling in for Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos. Cohen, 56, explained that he expected “some” weight loss after giving up booze for the month of January but admitted that it hasn’t “really happened yet,” which prompted Ripa to share her experience with putting on a few pounds while abstaining from the sauce.
“I told you, when I quit drinking, I expected there to be this windfall of weight loss, because everybody’s like, ‘Well, you are gonna get too skinny, and you can’t afford to lose it,’” Ripa, who revealed she gained 12 pounds, told viewers.
“I don’t understand this magical weight loss,” Ripa continued, referencing how some people who give up alcohol lean out. “I think I just took to eating the sugars.”
Ripa previously revealed she gave up alcohol for good after doing a sober month with a group of girlfriends in 2020.
