As per reports, his girlfriend was reportedly forcing the host to propose to her or else his dating life would fall into grave danger. However, this could be linked to Consuelos’ entry as a permanent co-host.
ABC Was Wooing Mark Consuelos for a Long Time
As per reports by PageSix, the ABC network was aware of Ryan Seacrest‘s departure from the Live With Kelly and Ryan talk show. Insiders told that ABC executives were considering his co-host, Kelly Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos as his replacement. The Riverdale star was in talks about joining the show since last summer.
This report is quite similar to Seacrest’s statement when he went public about leaving the talk show. He shared,
“This is something that [Kelly Ripa] and I have been talking about for a long time, and it was a tough, tough decision. Last year we spoke, and I made the decision to make this my last season as cohost.”
His exit and Consuelos’s entry into Live is quite a troubling moment for fans, however, the show’s engagement got hiked up whenever the husband-wife duo used to host the show together. While Consuelos is the next co-host alongside Ripa, the American Idol host was also dealing with some personal pressure that could have affected his decision of leaving the show.
