Let’s talk about Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest. These two have been working together for over two years, and it’s no surprise that they’ve formed a bond that goes way beyond the show. Picture this: two people who not only share a professional relationship but also a deep connection that’s built on trust, understanding, and mutual respect. That’s exactly what Kelly and Ryan have.

Kelly Opens Up About Her Friendship with Ryan

The legendary star of Days of Our Lives, Kelly Ripa, sat down with People magazine recently to spill the beans about her friendship with Ryan Seacrest. Now, we all know Kelly as the bubbly, down-to-earth host of Live with Kelly and Ryan, but what’s even more fascinating is how she describes her relationship with Ryan. According to Kelly, they’ve developed a level of telepathy that most people only dream of. “We don’t need words to communicate,” she said. “We just get each other. It’s like we share the same thought processes.”

But their connection goes deeper than just understanding one another. Kelly revealed that Ryan is the kind of friend who’s always willing to lend a helping hand, no matter what. Whether it’s running errands or simply being there when she needs him most, Ryan’s got her back. And that’s something you don’t see every day in the fast-paced world of showbiz.

Ryan, the Go-To Guy for Kelly’s Favors

Here’s where things get really interesting. Kelly mentioned that Ryan has gone above and beyond for her, even doing things like grabbing her retainer from her medicine cabinet when she’s out of town. Can you imagine? A guy like Ryan Seacrest, with all his success and fame, willingly stepping into someone else’s home to help a friend. That’s the kind of loyalty and friendship that’s rare but oh-so-valuable.

Kelly explained it with a laugh, saying, “If I’m traveling and I forget something, I can call Ryan. He has a house key, of course, and he’ll go inside, grab what I need, and bring it to me. He’s that kind of friend.”

Ryan Keeps an Eye on Kelly’s Kids

But wait, there’s more. Ryan isn’t just there for Kelly; he’s also keeping an eye on her kids. Kelly shared that Ryan has become a trusted confidant for her children, too. “He does intel with my kids,” she joked. “He doesn’t betray their secrets, but he gives me a heads-up if there’s something I should know. They don’t think of him as an adult—he’s more like one of them.”

This level of trust is something that doesn’t come easily, especially in the entertainment industry. It shows just how much Kelly values Ryan’s friendship and how much he respects her family’s privacy.

Ryan’s Influence on Kelly’s Personal Life

Now, here’s where things get even more personal. Kelly mentioned that Ryan might have had a hand in helping her quit drinking. During a January episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan, Kelly joked with viewers about how she believed her decision to stop drinking had caused a dip in American wine sales. “I quit drinking, and now people are buying less wine,” she said. “I’ve influenced the market!”

Ryan chimed in with his own joke, saying, “I started the show, and she quit drinking. What does that tell you?”
