If Kelly Ripa has a say, her cohost Ryan Seacrest will hold onto girlfriend Aubrey Paige forever.
"If you two break up, I'm going into seclusion. I am so fond of her," Kelly told Ryan of Aubrey on "Live with Kelly and Ryan."

Kelly, who said her husband, Mark Consuelos, is also on Team Aubrey, recalled going to a recent group dinner in New York City that included Ryan and his lady. Aubrey, she said, was "the most exciting guest that came." Kelly, 51, was so enthralled with Ryan's new love that she made a toast at the dinner, which included her "nearest and dearest" friends.
"We're all happy you're here and that you exist because we weren't sure there was somebody [for Ryan]," she remembered saying.
The romance with Aubrey comes about two years after Ryan ended a seven-year relationship with model Shayna Taylor. Interestingly, Aubrey, who was initially linked to Ryan last May, is the first one of Ryan's significant others that Kelly has ever met.
"We were starting to be like, 'Maybe he doesn't have a special person and maybe we should check in on him more often?'" she joked.
While Kelly's husband was also a fan of Aubrey, he was baffled by her and Ryan's height difference.
"Mark pulled me aside at the beginning of the night. He said, 'Can I ask you a question? She's really tall. She's taller than you and much taller in heels. How does that work?,'" Ryan said. "He had that dead-serious look. He was so confused. He was like, 'When you walk together, who's arm goes where?'"
