Kelly Ripa Shares Awkward Moment With Netflix Star: 'You're Married'

Kelly Ripa had an awkward run-in with one of her guests on Live with Kelly and Mark.

During the Thursday, Jan. 16 episode of Ripa's talk show with husband Mark Consuelos, the pair welcomed Netflix star Gabriel Basso to the set as a guest—but his entrance wound up being a tad more awkward than they expected.

As seen in a clip from Thursday's show reposted by Entertainment Weekly, the 30-year-old actor greeted Ripa, 54, by first putting out his arm to shake her hand, but the talk show host was already prepared to go in for a hug, too.

"Welcome, hello. We do hugs here," she told The Night Agent actor before asking, "Is that OK? Was that weird?"

"No, I just...you're married," Basso replied. "I just wanted to give you a handshake."

But even though Ripa is a married woman, her husband—who watched the whole situation go down—appeared to be chuckling over Basso's attempt to be respectful to his wife.

“Well, Mark was going to hug you first, but I wanted to make him feel less weird about it,” Ripa explained, while Basso admitted that he "missed" the gesture from Consuelos, 53.

"It’s all good,” Basso added before the trio eventually moved on with the rest of the interview.

The incident on Live came just one day after Basso called Laura Spencer "ma'am" during a Good Morning America interview on Wednesday, Jan. 15.

"Don't call me ma'am!" Spencer said after praising Basso for his authenticity.

“That’s why people love you, you’re very true to yourself and true to your craft,” she said during the interview, per the New York Post. “Everything I’ve read about you has just been incredibly complimentary, and the show speaks for itself. It is a pleasure to meet you. I hope you’ll come back."
