Kelly Ripa: Family Time Trumps Acting Career

Kelly Ripa has explained that her reduced acting roles stem from a commitment to her family and her current media ventures. She expressed a strong desire to be present for her three adult children, particularly supporting her daughter's budding music career in London.

While Ripa maintains her love for acting, she finds her current schedule with 'Live With Kelly and Mark' and her podcast leaves little room for more. She noted that acting schedules are demanding and not always conducive to being present for family.

Reflecting on past experiences, such as her sitcom 'Hope & Faith', Ripa acknowledged the difficulty of balancing intense filming schedules with other responsibilities. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive and productive work environment, a principle she carries over to her talk show.
