Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos Reveal Where ‘Live’ Will Be Filmed Before Debuting Their Brand-New Studio

After 37 Years in the Same Studio, ‘Live’ Moves to an Exciting Temporary Location—Here’s What to Expect

Big changes are happening for Live with Kelly and Mark!

After spending nearly four decades in their iconic Upper West Side studio, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have officially bid farewell to the space they once called home.

But before settling into their state-of-the-art new set, the beloved morning show will temporarily broadcast from a surprising location.

Where Will ‘Live’ Be Filmed in the Meantime?

An ABC representative confirmed that, beginning Monday, April 7, the entire Live team—including Kelly, Mark, executive producer Michael Gelman, announcer Deja Vu, and the full production crew—will broadcast from the 10th floor of Disney’s brand-new downtown headquarters.

The sprawling new space will feature a live audience, offering viewers a fresh perspective before the big move to their permanent home.

The temporary location will host the show for one week, leading up to the highly anticipated debut of their newly designed studio on Monday, April 14.

An Emotional Goodbye to a Historic Studio

The farewell to 7 Lincoln Square was deeply personal for Ripa and Consuelos, who spent years building both their careers and family within those walls.

“Our kids grew up here,” Consuelos shared, referring to their three children—Michael (27), Lola (23), and Joaquin (22).

“They would visit their mom all the time, even when they were just babies.“

Ripa added, “Before they started school, they were with me every day.

 Whether it was here at ‘Live’ or on the set of ‘All My Children,’ this building was a second home for them.“

A Studio Filled with Memories—Including Their Love Story

Beyond being a workplace, the Live studio holds a special place in Ripa and Consuelos’ hearts for another reason: it played a pivotal role in their relationship.

Back in 1996, during a brief breakup, the couple was scheduled for a joint appearance on ‘Live with Regis and Kathie Lee’—and that moment changed everything.

“We both tried to get out of it, but neither of us could,” Consuelos recalled.

“And the moment I saw her, I knew… breaking up was the worst decision of my life.“

That very night, he proposed to Ripa, and the next day, they eloped in Las Vegas—a decision that led to nearly three decades of marriage and a life they built together, both on and off-screen.

What’s Next for ‘Live’ with Kelly and Mark?

While this temporary move is exciting, fans are eagerly awaiting the grand reveal of the show’s brand-new studio on April 14.

Designed with cutting-edge technology and a fresh aesthetic, the new set will usher in a new era for the long-running morning show.

For now, Live with Kelly and Mark will continue bringing laughter, energy, and heartfelt moments to fans—just from a different (and stunning) location. Stay tuned!
