Kelly Ripa has found her new co-host for her talk show.
After working on the show alongside former NFL star, Michael Strahan for four years, Strahan abruptly left the show for a new job with “Good Morning America.”
Since then, Ripa has been in the search of a new co-host for about a year. Since Strahan’s departure, she has had celebrities like Anderson Cooper, Neil Patrick Harris and more as guest co-hosts on the show.
Ripa announced on Twitter that she is going to reveal her new co-host on Monday’s show.

CNN reports that, “the new hosting gig will not affect other on-air and off-air roles."
