Watch out, Kelly Ripa!
Sarah Michelle Gellar took the opportunity to reunite with her ex All My Children costar Mark Consuelos while at the quinceañera with him and Ripa.
“Notice me climbing over @kellyrip to get to @instasuelos,” Gellar, 46, wrote on her Instagram Story alongside a photo of her and the couple.
Ripa originally posted the photo on her Story and tagged where she was in the shot because her face couldn’t be seen as Gellar walked up to Consuelos, 52.

On Monday in the episode Living with Kelly and MarkRipa, who turned 53 on Monday, and her husband discussed going to Los Angeles for their friend Elsa Collins’ daughter Alessandra’s 15th birthday party.
“We didn’t just go to a quinceañera, we went to the most fun quinceañera,” Ripa said.
Consuelos described the event as “so much fun” and “really, really beautiful.”
“It was nice to be at the quinceañera,” Ripa continued. “It was a real event in LA where I said, ‘Oh, where did you get that?’ And she said: ‘In the house. We will arrange the yard.’ And I said, ‘Oh, well, if the weather permits,’ and she said, ‘The weather always permits here. Weather permitting.’”
The mom-of-three pointed out that if the party had been held in New York over the weekend, weather would have been a factor amid flooding caused by a tropical storm that swept through the Northeast.
“Can you imagine if that was an East Coast event?” Ripa asked. “That would be inside and upstairs because the first few floors would be flooded.”

Ripa said that the couple’s 26-year-old son Michael, who lives in Brooklyn, lost power due to the storm. She also said friends checked on her and Consuelos about whether the weather was affecting them, only to find out they were in Los Angeles.
“I texted back, ‘We’re in LA.’ It’s funny how you keep being on someone’s prayer list and they immediately take you off their prayer list,” Ripa said. “Then they’re irritated that you’re somehow not in the floods.”

Ripa, Consuleos and Gellar worked together All My Children in the ’90s. He actually discouraged Rip Buffy the Vampire Slayer star since moving to Los Angeles after her soap opera series ended.
“I’m so glad Sarah Michelle Gellar didn’t listen to me,” Ripa said on a January episode of her morning talk show. “Because many years ago, when she was on All My Children and leaving, she said, ‘I’m going to California.’ And I said, ‘What? There is nothing in California. What are you talking? You don’t want to go to California as a young starlet. What do you think? Do you think you will become a star? You will stay here where the work is! Theater! TV!'”
Ultimately, Gellar didn’t take Ripa’s advice.
“She said, ‘You’re wrong,'” Ripa said. “And I’m so glad she didn’t listen. She did it! She said, ‘Give me a beer, I’m going to be a star.'”
