Kelly Ripa Shares Cheeky Photo with Mark Consuelos and Says It’s the ‘Alternate Cover’ for Her ‘Live Wire’ Memoir

Kelly Ripa's new memoir,Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories, is officially out in stores, and besidesher U.S. tour,Live with Kelly and Ryanco-host is finding other creative ways to promoteher new book.

In arecent poston Instagram, the 51-year-old talk show host shared an “alternate” cover, which featured none other than她的丈夫马克•Consuelos 51。和as to be expected, it was quite a cheeky pic.

Ripa shared the photo the day beforeLive Wirehit shelves, and her caption said, “Alternate cover for my book,Live Wire, but thankfully @instasuelos intervened! LIVE WIRE is available tomorrow wherever books are sold.”

We can see that Ripa is wearing the same outfit she wore for the actualLive Wirecover, which includes a black, striped top and a metallic pink, pleated maxi skirt. However, in this snap, Ripa is holding up the skirtSeven Year Itch-style, and Consuelos is seen laying under her and looking up.

It appears that fellow celebs were big fans of the alternate cover, and they joked about it in the comments.Curb Your Enthusiasmactress Cheryl Hines wrote, “I’m printing this out & pasting it on my book!” Meanwhile, talk show host Justin Sylvester commented, “Christmas card?”

While we loved this saucy cover, it's probably for the best that Ripa went with the more standard version. However, Consuelos has been a big part of Ripa's book release process.

A couple weeks back, the couplefilmed a video from their bed, where they talked about the memoir and Ripa's book tour. “Scenes from the marital bed, book tour edition!” theLivehost wrote. “Grab your friends and I’ll grab mine (@bethennyfrankel @andersoncooper @mrjerryoc @justinasylvester plus @instasuelos [heart emoji]) and I will see you in NJ, NYC, Long Island, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Louisville and virtually later this month! Get your tickets at the link in my bio.”

Consuelos was part of Ripa's first stop in Red Bank, NJ, and then he will also join her in Ann Arbor, MI, which is conveniently where their youngest child, Joaquin,goes to schoolat the University of Michigan.

If Ripa ever decides to release a book on relationships, she's already got the perfect cover photo.
