During a heartfelt segment on Live with Kelly and Mark, Mark Consuelos shared the emotional news that he and Kelly Ripa recently said goodbye to their beloved 17-year-old dog, Chewie. The family made the difficult decision after Chewie stopped eating and began experiencing serious health issues.
An emotional Ripa teared up as Consuelos reflected on how Chewie had been a constant presence in their children’s lives, growing up alongside them. Despite the grief, Ripa expressed gratitude for the love and support they received—sharing touching moments like neighbors and even their mail carrier coming to say goodbye. Trying to stay strong, Consuelos reassured both Ripa and the audience: “We’re going to get through it all together.”
