\"I’ve been grateful to be able to share a cup of coffee with our viewers everyday, one of the best parts of the gig,\" he added.

Ripa also shared a statement to Instagram in which she joked that she and Consuelos are entering \"the contractual obligation phase of our relationship.\"

To Seacrest, she added, \"I am proud of you and am forever in your corner.\"

Consuelos also shared a post on Instagram in which he congratulated Seacrest on his \"next chapter\" and told him, \"I love you like a brother.\"

He also expressed excitement at joining wife Ripa on \"Live,\" calling her \"my ride or die.\"

\"This is going to be amazing!\" Consuelos said. \"I can't believe after all these years of listening to you talk for free, I found a way to get paid for it. Is this a great country or what?\"
