Botox, yes! Breast implants, no thank you- so says Kelly Ripa.
The “Live with Kelly and Mark” host is getting real about what she will and will not do in the quest for beauty.
On the July 15 episode of the podcast “Not Skinny But Not Fat,” Kelly told host Amanda Hirsch that while she’d love to have a larger chest, she’ll never get a boob job.
“It’s weird, every time I say I have no boobs, it is a big deal. And 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,” she said.
And while Kelly says her flat-chested status has “almost become a point of pride at this point,” she has considered getting breast augmentation more than once.
âI’ve gone to more breast augmentation consults than I would like to admit. Every time I hear about the new boob guy, I go and I have a consult,” Kelly admitted.
And those appointments have always gone fine, but she’s never pulled the trigger on having it done.
“They always say all the right things and do all the right things,” Kelly told Amanda. But one thing stops her every time.
“Because our cell phones listen to us, it pops up,” she explained. “And I scroll through, like, so many horror stories of boob jobs.”
Kelly Ripa Has Another Practical Reason She Doesn’t Want a Breast Augmentation
Kelly Ripa says beyond the fear of something going wrong, she has another reason why she’ll never get a boob job.
âHere’s the reality, because all of my friendsâor a majority of my friendsâhave had breast augmentation,” the former “All My Children” star explained. “And they’ve had multiple because every ten years or so, you have to, like, swap them out.”
Kelly unpacked the practicalities of that, saying, “So 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?â
As for husband Mark Consuelos, Kelly says he’s fine with things just the way they are.
“Nobody’s talking to these except for Mark,” Kelly joked, gesturing to her chest. “And he’s on a ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ policy. He’s like ‘we’re good, I’m fine,’” she laughed.
Kelly Ripa Says She’s Not Afraid of Aging
When Amanda Hirsch asked Kelly, “What is your relationship with aging,” the talk show host didn’t hesitate in her answer.
“I feel like the alternative of aging is very bad. So I’m not afraid to age. Like I said, I’m not necessarily, I’m not a vain person. I know what I look like and I’m very comfortable in my own skin. Having said that, like, I whiten my teeth. Why? Because I’m on camera,” she said.
Kelly also readily admits to getting Botox. “If I didn’t have my job in front of a camera, would I do any of that stuff? Probably not. But it really makes you aware of the fact that a good portion of your audience expects you to remain exactly the way you were when they found you. For me, that goes back 35 years, 40 years. While I know that I cannot look the way I did that amount of time ago, I do there are ways, there are cheats that I can utilize.”
“I feel like aging is a necessary part of living, but I want to live my best life and I want to look a way that makes me feel good. And I don’t really give a s*** what other people think. I stopped caring about that a long time ago,” said Kelly.
