The talk show host, 53 — who recently reacted to her daughter sharing a topless bikini photo — admitted she once jumped off a boat because she believed she could 'fluently' communicate to dolphins. While touching on the latest technological developments for animal communication, Ripa recalled a previous dolphin encounter she had while on a friend's birthday trip to Mexico . 'They rented a boat for sunset cocktails.



All of a sudden in the water we were surrounded by wild dolphins,' she explained, sharing she 'had just done the show in Miami, and we'd gone to the Seaquarium and I swam with the dolphins. 'We were doing a taped piece where we communicate with the dolphins. So I, Kelly Ripa, jump into the water and I go, "I know how to talk to the dolphins!" I'm like, "I'm going to call them over!'" she quipped.

But Kelly insisted she could speak to the marine mammals 'fluently.' She continued: 'Our friend Brian was standing on the bow of the boat and he's going, "Kel, get back in the boat.

Those are wild dolphins, those aren't trained dolphins." 'But, in my mind, I thought I could talk to the dolphins because I'd spoken so fluently to them,' she said. Kelly made the bizarre confession during Tuesday's episode of Live! with Kelly and Mark, which she co-hosts with husband of 28 years, Mark Consuelos.

Kelly first got her start in Hollywood back in 1987 when she appeared as a regular dancer on Dancin' On Air which led into Dance Party USA. In 1990 she landed her first major role acting as Hayley Vaughan in All My Children which ran for twelve years, earning her three Daytime Emmy Award nominations. But that's not the only good thing to come from her time on the series.

Ripa made the bizarre confession during Tuesday's episode of Live! with Kelly and Mark, which she co-hosts with husband Mark Consuelos She and Consuelos met back in 1995 and have been married for 28 years; seen in 2020 She met her now-husband Mark in 1995 when they starred opposite each other as their characters married on the show. Recalling the moment she first saw him in a photo she said: 'When I saw him, the photograph of him, I saw my entire future with him flash before [my eyes] — like I saw it.' The couple eloped in Vegas in 1996, a year after meeting.

People reported it cost the pair only $179. But — the trip to say 'I do' was kept under wraps. Kelly said she kept her relationship with Mark a secret to avoid coworkers thinking it would interfere with production.

She told Entertainment Tonight , 'We'd been married for three month, nobody at [All My Children] knew we were even dating, much less married to each other.' The pair started their family in 1997, which kept them busy when the cameras were off. They have three children: Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 21.

Kelly and Mark often share glimpses at their family life on Instagram, which includes lavish summer vacations and cozy at-home holiday gatherings. Their children are also active on social media. And last week, Kelly earned plenty of 'likes' when she reacted to daughter Lola's latest topless sunbathing photo.

The talk show host expressed her thoughts with a comment underneath her 23-year-old daughter's Instagram post on Thursday. In the cover photo of her carousel, Lola stripped down and could be seen lying down on a beach towel without her bikini top while sunbathing. The couple have three children: Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 21 Last week, Kelly reacted to her daughter Lola's topless bikini photo in a playful way as they both referenced the recent 'very demure, very mindful' viral trend 'Is this demure?' the singer — who shared rare photos with her British boyfriend Cassius Kidston on his birthday last month — captioned her post as she referenced the recent viral social media trend.

Playing off the same trend, Ripa commented: 'It's very mindful.' The 'very demure, very mindful' trend is a viral catchphrase, coined by content creator Jools Lebron, now widely used to satirize stereotypical ideas of feminity and subtly joke about being 'demure, mindful and cutesy' while boldly doing the opposite. Social media users are now using the phrase to poke fun at their ironically not-so-demure, not-so-mindful posts or to throw shade at other people for their perhaps questionable actions.
