Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are saying goodbye to a beloved member of their family.
The Live With Kelly and Mark stars are mourning the loss of their beloved dog, Chewie.
On February 5, the Live With Kelly and Mark co-stars went on the ABC morning program to mourn the loss of their beloved dog, Chewie, who had died the night before. Chewie had been a part of their lives for 17 years (the couple also adopted their other dog Lena in 2021), and after going through a number of complicated health issues, the couple decided to do what they felt was best and put her down.
“We had a rough day yesterday,” Mark sadly began in a clip posted on Instagram. “We had to say goodbye to Chewie yesterday … you think, ‘Okay, I’m doing the right thing, this is going to be not easy but … ‘ It’s probably one of the toughest things we’ve had to do as a married couple.”
As Mark told the audience about the impact Chewie had on them and their kids (sons Michael and Joaquin, along with daughter Lola), Kelly looked despondent and on the verge of tears. Eventually, she broke down on the air, with her head buried in her hands.
“I really thought I got it all out and I apologize because this is not how I wanted this to go down,” she stated. “We’re filled with gratitude for this dog … As each one of our kids left for college and moved out on our own, Chewie remained right there. Our steadfast companion. I feel very bad crying … there are much bigger problems in the world, and I understand that. But you have to understand that this dog was so special, and she was such a great girl.”
“You were a great dog mom, she adored you,” Mark added. “We’re going to get through this … All together, we’re going to get through it.”
When fans saw how emotional Kelly got about the loss of Chewie, words of sympathy immediately flooded the comments.
“Oh heavens, I’m so sorry for this precious loss,” one person wrote. “Ugh this was heartbreaking to watch. I’m so very sorry for your loss. She’ll be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge. 🌈🐾,” another consoled. “Crying with you 🫶🏻🙏🏻 My heart goes out to you both,” a different follower added.
We’re sending all our love to Kelly and Mark during this tough time.
