I always think of us as politically progressive … we’re progressive people,” Ripa said on theDouble Datepodcast in April. “And yet, when it comes to our own family and our marriage and our roles, I think of us as very traditional and almost old-fashioned in our roles.“After Consuelos credited Ripa for making “the home a home,” Ripa said her husband in turn made “sacrifices” to travel for work that resulted in him missing “milestones for the kids.““In that way, we’re very traditional,” she said. “He made those sacrifices, but I think he wouldn’t know how to find a ballet class. He wouldn’t know how to go about signing the kids up for religion classes.”
