Where is Kelly Ripa? The talk show legend has been MIA from her hit daytime show, LIVE With Kelly & Ryan, for multiple days in-a-row, and fans were surprised to see former Extra host Maria Menounos sitting in her seat.

Fans of the daytime talker only found out of Ripa’s absence Monday morning when producers shared a behind-the-scenes clip on Instagram introducing her temporary replacement: Menounos. On Tuesday, the former E! News alum set in again for the All My Children actress.

Ripa hasn’t given a reason for her absence on the show. Some fans are speculating that she has been spending spring break with husband Mark Conseuelos and their three kids: Michael, 23, Lola, 19 and Joaquin, 18.

On Tuesday, Ripa took to her Instagram Story to honor National Puppy Day. She shared two videos of her dogs inside her Manhattan home, but did not appear in the footage herself.

Should Ripa be worried that fans were quick to shower Menounos with praise on her job as co-host? “Fresh energy much needed for the show,” one fan gushed. “I started my work day later just to watch her.” While another user wrote: “Maria fits in well!! She is funny, too!”
