Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos surrounded themselves with friends ahead of Thanksgiving, including Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
On Wednesday, Chopra’s manager Anjula Acharia shared a sweet selfie of herself, Chopra, Ripa, Consuelos and many other stars as they hosted a dinner for Citadel actress upon her return to New York.
“We had such a warm and wonderful night hosting our girl @priyankachopra who was in town with friends and family ♥️,” Acharia wrote in the caption, before tagging the rest of the party, including Huma Abedin, Kal Penn, Sarita Choudhury, Jay Seana, Thara Natalie and Furhan Ahmad. She also shared a photo to her Instagram Story, adding the sticker “Happy Thanksgiving.”
Meanwhile, Ripa re-shared the photo on her own Instagram Story, captioning the post with a sticker that read, “Team Goals.”
“That was a good night! Thank you @anjula_acharia and @furhan_ahmad for a brilliant time. Welcome back @priyankachopra ❤️,” the LIVE with Kelly and Mark the presenter commented on the photo.

Ripa takes these special meals with loved ones seriously; earlier this week she said she planned to ban phone calls for Thanksgiving,
“You know what I do? I take out the basket. I didn’t want to do it, but I will be forced to do it. I have a phone basket,” she told her husband, Consuelos, as they discussed their opposition to people using their phones while eating during their show.
Consuelos and Ripa talked about how they’re looking forward to having their three children — Michael, 26, Lola, 22, and Joaquin, 20 — home for the holidays.
“I don’t want to create anxiety at the table,” she said. “I want them to know that they are here and that they are safe. It’s just for this one meal.”

Ripa and Consuelos have a long history with Chopra and her husband Nick Jonas, which they recently discussed on Live earlier this year. During the show in April, Consuelos recalled how Jonas texted him and Ripa that he wanted to meet Chopra, who he called “The One” pretty early on.
“He wanted you to meet ‘mom and dad,’” Consuelos joked, pointing to him and Ripa, to which Chopra quipped, “You were his parents in New York at the time. I felt that way. You were like an internship before my in-laws.”
It’s clear that Jonas’ instincts about Chopra were right as the couple ended up tying the knot in December 2018, before welcoming their daughter, Malta Marie Chopra Jonas, via surrogate in January 2022.
