Kelly Ripa appears to be in a pretty good mood despite all the reported tension behind the scenes of Live!.

The 45-year-old co-host was snapped stepping out of her townhouse in New York City on Thursday with her husband, Mark Consuelos, and their three children, Michael, Lola, and Joaquin. Looking perfectly put together in a flowy printed black dress and heels, she carried a green leather backpack and a book as she flashed the cameras a smile.
