Why Was Kelly Ripa In Hospital? Was She Sick? 

Kelly Ripa was not in the hospital and she is not sick. 

Back in March 2021, Ripa took a much-needed break from the morning talk show, Live! with Kelly and Ryan, to enjoy some time to herself, as per Distractify. 

She had been filming continuously so the television host decided to enjoy some time off with her family.

Ripa did not mention how she spent her time off but she definitely got some well-deserved rest away from her hectic work schedule.

Television host Maria Menounos stepped in to fill her role. In the past, Ripa’s co-host Ryan has also taken some time off from work.

During that time, hosts like Anderson Cooper had filled in for him.
