Published: July 1, 2025

Kelly Ripa made a shocking revelation on the July 1 episode of 'Live with Kelly and Mark' when she confessed to taking "indecent photos" in front of a portrait of David Muir at their workplace.

The 'World News Tonight' anchor was a guest on the show, and Ripa, 54, greeted him by calling him "Commander Handsome." The conversation turned to their new office location at ABC's New York City headquarters, where they have access to gigantic images of all the anchors, including Muir.

Ripa jokingly told Muir that she took indecent photos in front of his portrait, which are "not suitable for broadcast." Her husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, added that "HR was right next to her" when it happened.

Muir, 51, has a dedicated fanbase online, with some fans even calling him "Daddy." He previously told PEOPLE that he finds it hilarious and takes it as a compliment.

The beloved journalist also joked that his dog, Axel, is more famous than he is, saying that Axel "deserves to be and he has no idea which makes it even more special."
