Kelly Ripa Prefers Quiet Restaurants, Blames iPads
21 Aug
Summary
- Kelly Ripa noted modern children are often engrossed in iPads.
- She recalled a neighbor's noise complaint about a children's party.
- Ripa once gave out candy bars, not single servings, on Halloween.
Talk show host Kelly Ripa commented on the changing behavior of children in restaurants, suggesting that the prevalence of iPads has led to quieter dining experiences. She noted that children are often so engrossed in their devices that their presence is almost unnoticeable.
Ripa contrasted this with her own past experiences raising her three children with husband Mark Consuelos, recalling that they actively sought ways to keep their kids entertained during outings. She humorously remarked that she could hear the movie playing on a child's iPad, questioning if she should recognize shows like 'Bluey' given her own children are adults.
The couple has a history of humorous anecdotes involving children. Ripa previously discussed an incident where she gave out two candy bars per trick-or-treater in 2023 to avoid complaints about specific candy choices. Consuelos also recalled a noise complaint from neighbors in 1999 regarding a daytime children's party.
Live With Kelly and Mark was set to return with new live episodes beginning September 8.
