LIVE with Kelly and Mark will soon undergo a significant change, as the entire show will move to a new location for a series of shows.

Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, have been working toward this move for a long time and are admittedly excited about it.

Kelly has been dealing with many changes on LIVE that are out of her control, such as the retirement of one of her good friends, Art Moore, and a new studio move in the works.

As Monsters and Critics reported, LIVE is moving to Palm Springs, California, for a week of shows. Kelly and Mark want this change and look forward to it in the coming weeks.

During this move to Palm Springs, Kelly has been vocal about her eventual retirement from LIVE, which she is actively looking forward to.

Kelly and Mark love Palm Springs and visit whenever they can, so it makes sense that this could be where the couple retires when they hang up their talk show host hats for good.

Kelly shares what her and Mark’s retirement will look like

Kelly told PEOPLE that they “manifested” the show’s move to Palm Springs and are excited about the change, even though it is not the permanent one they wish.

Many people, including some of Kelly’s relatives, have congratulated her on her move to Palm Springs as if it were a planned permanent move.

Kelly said, “My uncle has called me to congratulate me on moving to Palm Springs. I’m getting all these phone calls from people saying, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe you’re finally moving to California after all these years.’ And I’m like, ‘We’re going for four days. Everybody calm down.'”

The Desert Sun reports that Kelly and Mark have long loved Palm Springs, and the couple’s retirement plans are taking shape.

It seems that anytime Kelly speaks about Palm Springs, she mentions her wish to retire there when she’s ready to move on from LIVE.

Kelly said, “We’re trying to show what our retirement will look like. His days occupy golfing, me learning to play bridge, us hiking together, and you golfing more. We’ve got our whole lives mapped out; we can almost see it.”

While Kelly and Mark may not be retiring anytime soon, they know what they want and where they want it to happen when it finally happens.

Kelly shared a promised pic of her bathroom decor

On a recent host chat during LIVE, Kelly shared that she has a piece of decor that her friend made in a prominent spot in her bathroom.

Kelly called the phrasing on his embroidery, “Put the seat down, you f*****,” so rotten yet accurate.

Kelly has spoken about Mark and his gross habits when she isn’t there to rein him in, saying that this bathroom decoration is necessary.

LIVE with Kelly and Mark airs weekdays on ABC.

Kelly, I am here in northern KY, I have wanted to live near the ocean most of my life. I was just sitting on the beach
Watching the waves a lady came by and we decided she needed a small break so she sat down near me.
We eventually started talking about Watching the waves, I told her I loved watching because it seemed every wave was slightly or really
different, she said she never thought
Of that. Maybe you will have time to do that too.
Kelly I have liked Watching you on AMC since you started. And Mark is a great actor as well,,, he was really believable yesterday talking about Sam.
I hope he doesn’t leave GH anytime soon.
Lastly I have a question where is Uncle pork chop? If he lives out there maybe he could have a little storyline for his fans. I thought you both were good together.
Don’t change too much of your lives, I used to fly to San Diego and go up to LA Jolhola (spelling that is wrong)
You will find out that is a perfect place almost no one needs an air conditioner!

Nice chatting
Stay well, be safe, and keeping smiling

Sincerely stay well stay safe.
