Kelly Ripa is an American actress, dancer, talk show host, and television producer. She has hosted or co-hosted the show Live! with Kelly and Ryan, under various titles, since 2001. She played Hayley Vaughan Santos for twelve years on the soap opera All My Children, and Faith Fairfield on Hope & Faith, both series on ABC.
Kelly is the daughter of Esther A. (Reilly) and Joseph R. Ripa. Kelly is married to actor Mark Consuelos, with whom she has three children.
Her Italian roots are in Calabria, Marche, and Abruzzo.
Kelly’s paternal grandfather was named Giuseppe Ripa/Joseph (the son of Elpidio Ripa). Giuseppe was born in San Elpidio (now Sant’Elpidio a Mare), Province of Fermo, Marche, Italy.
Kelly’s paternal grandmother was named Maria. Maria was Italian.
Kelly’s maternal grandfather was named Paul Reilly.
Kelly’s maternal grandmother was Esther A. DiPretoro (the daughter of Palmerino DiPretoro and Mary Laurogna). Esther was born in Pennsylvania, to Italian parents, from Chieti, Abruzzo, Italy.
A DNA test whose results Kelly displayed in an Ancestry.com commercial stated that Kelly’s genetic ancestry is:
*74% Italian
Kelly has said:
…when Ancestry approached me, I was like ‘I already know what I am. I already know.’ And they were like, ‘Well, don’t be so sure.’ I found out all
this stuff… seeing how my dad’s side of the family and my mom’s side… all sort of migrated around the same time… from different parts of Italy. So it was, to me, very fascinating and very interesting. And once you start really finding out about yourself, it really does explain a lot. I found out I’m the tiniest percent Greek. And I love Greece. I always feel a connection there, and I don’t know why. I never understood that, and now I’m like, ‘Maybe it’s because I’m Greek, who knew?’

so you created this whole site.
shut up N****r
o_o
Wow, Lopac! I knew you were racist. People gave me a low rating for asking Ethnic to delete your racist comments as well, but this comment is proof that you are one.
Your comments on the pages of Mila Kunis and Paul Walker, defending them against the white supremacist ‘Viking,’ were just a front . . . like I thought they were.
Fuck you and Viking.
I’m white I just like all races and I get piss when they’re insulting them. I’m fair.
Bullshit.
I wasn’t insulting any race on this page, and you called me a n****r.
Fuck you.
I called you a n****r because you keep following everywhere just mind your own buissness.
This is a public site, idiot. Not a private site. Everything you post is visible. That is no reason to be racist.
come on. this is your argument she’s also irish. thats why she looks white. you keep pointing out all the italians who are mix with northern europeans. what can you say about ray romano, or pauly d, or the joe pesci, or tony danza, or al paccino. I can go on and on and on. focus on the pure italians don’t focus on the ones that are mix.
She is 3/4th Italian, idiot. She is 75% Italian, and it has a lot to do with her phenotype given it makes up the majority of her ancestry. Italians are white. Move on with your life. Your hatred for Southern Europeans is disgusting.
I repeat Why do you care your not White.
If you consider Southern Europeans not to be white, then why are you concerning yourself with them? Pay attention to ‘Anglos,’ the only ones who you think are white.
I just want to wake people up. and don’t considered southern european white. there not at the same level as N.E.
There are no levels, you supremacist nutjob.
No i pointed out 3 other who were just Italian i could of pointed out more but it was to time consuming Kelly is only1/4 Irish is Italians are so dark she would of come out way more darker than she is.Pauly D whos day is gym TANNING and Laundry no way.Your fighting a failing battle why does it bother you people see them as white.
Your so dumb obviously Italian per average a person from Finland or say Norway are going to be darker because Italy gets more sun but not all .I already said some Italians are dark and you said the majority are and i said dont be stereotypical you cant go around saying they all look Arab or Persian i know you just lying and want to see Italians and Spanish as something else altogether .
