Live With Kelly and Mark is without one of its titular personalities this week, but fret not, there was good reason. Kelly Ripa is seemingly simply enjoying her annual summer break from the longtime ABC talk show leading to her recent absence.

Kelly Ripa has been noticeably missing from her morning talk show Live With Kelly and Mark. Her husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, has been holding down the fort with guest hosts Jackie Tohn, Jenna Dewan, and Rita Ora. Ripa's absence comes one week after Consuelos took a week-long hiatus, as he was filming a show in L.A.

Why isn't Kelly Ripa on Live With Kelly and Mark this week? Even morning TV's fiercest warriors need a break, it seems. The daytime icon will sit out morning broadcasts of Live, as the popular personality typically takes a short leave from the long-running talk show every summer.
