The idea of a breast augmentation has always intrigued Kelly Ripa, but she’s never gone through with it.
“I’ve gone to more breast augmentation consults than I would like to admit,” Ripa, 54, said during her Tuesday, July 15, appearance on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast. “Every time I hear about ‘the new boob guy,’ I go, and I have a consult.”
She added, “They always say all the right things and do all the right things.”
But seeing “horror stories of boob jobs” on social media always changes things.
“Because our cell phones listen to us, it pops up,” she said. “It like talks me right out of it.”
After seeing some “complications” with the surgery, Ripa said she’s over wanting it.
“Here’s the reality, because all of my friends or majority of my friends have had breast augmentation, and they’ve had multiple. Every 10 years or so you have to swap them out,” Ripa explained. “Let’s say I get them at 55, right? That means at 65, I have to swap them out. At 75, I’m on my second pair. Let’s say I live to 85, I’m going under the knife again. I’m good.”
Ripa said that her breasts were “mildly” larger before she had three kids.
“I wouldn’t say they were necessarily bigger. I would say I nursed what was in there away,” the talk show host shared. “Now, I just have nipples that hang lower.”
Ripa is a mother to kids Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22, whom she shares with husband Mark Consuelos. The couple, who hosts Live With Kelly and Mark, have been married since 1996.
She joked that Consuelos, 54, is the only one interested in her boobs.
“Nobody’s talking to these except for Mark, and even he seems like he’s on a don’t ask, don’t tell policy,” she quipped. “We’re good. I’m fine.”
Ripa did say that she’s constantly fascinated when her comments about breast augmentations get discussed publicly. (In 2018, she joked about asking Consuelos for permission to get a boob job in an Instagram comment.)
“Every time I say I have no boobs. It is a big deal. I’m like, ‘Guys I’ve said this 800 times.’ We know that I’m flat-chested. It’s not a mystery at this point,” Ripa added. “At this point, it’s almost a point of pride.”
She continued, “I just feel like there’s somebody out there that can relate.”
