Kelly Ripa walked the Oscars 2023 champagne carpet with her husband Mark Consuelos and "Live" co-host Ryan Seacrest.
The trio stepped out looking glam as they arrived at the 95th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Seacrest announced on Feb. 16 that he will be leaving "Live with Kelly and Ryan" this spring to focus on hosting "American Idol," which is currently airing its 21st season on ABC. He promised that he'll be back to guest host.

It was revealed at the time that Consuelos will replace Seacrest, who first joined "Live" in 2017.
Consuelos, who has been married to Ripa since May 1996, joked about working with his wife every day, saying he's "feeling great" about the new gig.
