Let me tell you a story about the time Andy Cohen found himself in one of the most awkward FaceTime moments of his life. You know Andy, right? The guy who's always got a sharp quip or two up his sleeve? Well, this time, his attempt to get some fashion advice from a good friend, Kelly Ripa, took a turn for the bizarre. Here's what happened: Andy, who was 50 at the time, decided to FaceTime Kelly while he was out shopping. But little did he know, Kelly, 48, was in the middle of changing at the gym—and completely naked. Oops!
FaceTiming Naked: The Ultimate Communication Mishap
Kelly Ripa, host of Live! With Kelly and Ryan, shared this hilarious anecdote with her cohost Ryan Seacrest during an episode that aired on February 27. “Let me tell you why you should always text someone first before you FaceTime them,” Kelly said with a laugh. She explained that she was at the gym, in the locker room, just minding her own business and getting changed. “Because, you know, sometimes I do get naked when I change my clothes,” she joked sarcastically. Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a FaceTime request from Andy Cohen. Without thinking twice, she answered it and said, “Hey!” But what she saw next on the other side of the screen was not what she expected.
What happened next was something Kelly never expected. “I look up, and there’s Andy Cohen surrounded by a group of people,” she recounted. “He turns around and says, ‘Oh, sweetie, I’m at J. Crew.’” It turns out that Andy and his friend Bruce Bozzi were trying to pick out a shirt for Kelly’s son's birthday. They wanted her opinion on the selection. But instead of getting fashion advice, Kelly ended up giving them all an impromptu fashion show—while completely naked on FaceTime. Ryan Seacrest, ever the comedian, quipped, “And now you’ve got a lifetime discount at J. Crew.” Classic Ryan!

The Bright Side of Birthday Mishaps
Despite the awkwardness of the situation, Andy was just trying to be thoughtful. He wanted to get the perfect gift for Kelly's son, Joaquin, who was turning 16. And when the big day arrived, Kelly and her husband, Mark Consuelos, took to Instagram to celebrate their growing teen. On February 24, they posted sweet messages and pictures of Joaquin to mark the occasion. “And then the newborn turned 16,” Kelly wrote in the caption of her photo collage. “Happy birthday, Joaquin! You are the gift that keeps on giving. We all love you more than words can say.” Mark, keeping it short and sweet, echoed his wife’s sentiment, saying, “Happy Birthday baller… We love you.”
