Kelly Ripa Reveals She Uses Botox

In a recent interview in Elle Magazine, Kelly Ripa dishes on her love life and reveals a few beauty secrets.

The talk show hosts admitted to the magazine that she gets botox regularly. “Every seven months or so my eyelid skin rests on my eyelashes. So I feel like it makes my makeup artist’s life easier, and it makes my eyes look more open on TV, which is where I happen to work right now,” said Ripa. Other than that, the former soap star is all natural. She owes her petite body to SoulCycle, the spin studio known to be a celebrity favorite.

The self named “dork” gushes to the magazine about her appeal to audiences. “I think that’s why people get me,” she says. “No matter how much I try to cool myself up, it’s never going to happen for me. But, like, am I dying to be cool? Yes, I’m dying to be …I feel like as long as you take ownership over your own flaws, it doesn’t hurt if someone else points them out.”

Ripa has never been shy about her marriage to Mark Consuelos and tells Elle that he wears the pants in their relationship. “I actually call him Desi, because the thing about Desi was that as much attention as Lucy got, Desi was always in charge.”

Kelly Ripa’s interview is on stands now in the February issue of Elle Magazine.
