Consuelos also spoke with SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show” this week about how he’s been settling into his new job.
“I can’t do tomorrow’s show now, I can’t do yesterday’s show over again,” he said. “If it’s great, great. If it’s not so great, we’ll try better next time. And that’s been my approach. Just kind of be in the moment.”
Ripa and Consuelos have been married since 1996.
