KELLY Ripa ripped Ryan Seacrest, mocking his age, after the host brought up his fears about having kids someday.
The Live co-host ribbed her partner that at his stage of life, he and any future babies may have something in common – the need for diapers.
On Friday’s show, Kelly and Ryan welcomed actor Ryan Reynolds, who recently shared his own baby news.
Seacrest, who at 47 is neither married nor a father, had a question about parenthood for the former Green Lantern.
“I don’t have kids, and I fear that when I do I will not be good at homework with the kids…” The American Idol host started to ask, before Kelly jumped in.
“I fear that when you do have kids, you will both be in diapers!” she slammed, much to the delight of the roaring audience. “That’s what I fear.”
All Seacrest could do was shrug his shoulders at the jab, and mouth to the camera, “it’s true.”
BABY ON BOARD?
Ryan may be getting ready to scratch that fatherhood itch.
During a segment on the September 6 episode, he revealed that it is “about time” he has some.
The co-hosts came back on the premiere and talked about their recent vacations, with Ryan discussing his trip to Italy.

“Going into the trip, I thought, you know what, it’s about time for me to have kids,” the 47-year-old said.
A silence fell over the set and then Kelly laughed at him.
“It is, right?” he asked someone off-set.
He then held up pictures of he and his three-year-old niece, Flora, eating breakfast in bed, and confessed that she had a tantrum after it was taken.
“She’d go from these screaming tantrums to being a sweet angel within minutes,” he said.
“And I thought, if I were to do this, I’d rather be the uncle than the father.”
“The funcle,” Kelly said and Ryan agreed.
He concluded that while having them when they’re “sweet angels” is fun, he does not like the tantrum part of it.
