He responded to the backlash in the post’s comment section and defended his wife saying,
“…I posted this pic of the women I most admire… her commitment to exercise, healthy diet is admirable and the benefits show. Yes she’s wearing a bikini at age 47 and will no doubt wear one for many years to come.”
He continued,
“If that offends you… I suggest you get over it… To all the males that had something negative to say… bring it up with me if ever I’m lucky enough to run into you…” And in a subsequent comment, he said, “I love you @kellyripa… keep killing it.”
