As Ryan Seacrest, who is now serving as co-host in lieu of Mark Consuelos, sought additional information, the revelation gained traction.
Asking, “So, was your first kiss a TV kiss?” Seacrest took advantage of the situation. “Yes,” Aniston said. When Ripa asked whether that was unusual, the discussion took a comical turn.
“Well, no, it was actually really fun,” Aniston said, continuing, “Sure enough, we kissed for the first time in that coffee shop, so we just directed all of our affection and devotion toward Ross and Rachel.”
