Kelly Ripa to reportedly return to Live with Kelly and Michael
After walking out April 20, Kelly Ripa is set to return Tuesday to co-hosting ABC's Live with Kelly and Michael, sources told People and the Los Angeles Times on Friday. She apparently sent the following email to her staff Friday:
(Sorry for this late Friday night email). I wanted to thank you all for giving me the time to process this new information. Your kindness, support, and love has overwhelmed me. We are a family and I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday morning. Love, Kelly. [The New York Times]
