The storyline, which the New York Post detailed when the premiere aired, features Nixon's Miranda Hobbes, now single and dating women after her breakup with the…Open

Kelly Ripa told podcast listeners that brushing her teeth too often caused gum recession severe enough to require surgery, a procedure her dentist had recommended five years before she finally went through with it.

Hosting alongside guest Nick Jonas, Consuelos explained that the gum graft procedure, in which a periodontist removes…Open

Television's most decorated unmarried couple racked up five combined Emmy nominations this year for separate projects, yet the pair told Variety they still have no plans to walk down the aisle after thirteen years together.
