It’s been nearly 10 years since Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan’s feud — and now, they’re about to be under the same roof again.
As Strahan’s “Good Morning America” moves from its Times Square studio to ABC’s Hudson Square facility, where Ripa’s “Live with Kelly and Mark” has been filming since earlier this month, the network is reportedly bracing for a potential run-in between the former co-hosts.
“They will be feet away from each other — he will be able to smell her perfume,” an insider told The Post on Thursday.

“Plans are in place to get Michael and Kelly in and out without crossing paths,” the source added, noting that Strahan, 53, films from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and Ripa, 54, does her show from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.
“The good news is they both tend to leave pretty quickly after taping,” the insider continued. “Still, if their schedules overlap, ABC will need a Plan B.”
An ABC spokesperson, however, denied there was any “truth” to chatter about lingering drama, calling the ex-colleagues “consummate professionals” in a statement to Page Six.

The rep noted, “Both Kelly and Michael … are excited to continue to co-host their top-rated shows in our new state-of-the-art studios.”
Page Six has reached out to Strahan and Ripa’s reps for comment.
The duo co-hosted “Live with Kelly and Michael” from 2012 to 2016 after Regis Philbin’s exit.
The retired NFL player, however, infamously upset Ripa by abruptly leaving the show for “GMA.”

The former soap star found out about Strahan’s exit minutes before the rest of the world — which, he later admitted, “could have been handled better.”
The pair were already at odds prior to the bombshell, with a source telling Page Six at the time that the co-hosts “couldn’t stand each other, and whenever they communicated off-camera, it was always through their reps.”
Strahan has been on “GMA” ever since, while Ripa co-hosted with Ryan Seacrest for six years before her husband, Mark Consuelos, joined her in 2023.

Ripa and Strahan aren’t the only ones affected by the move, with The Post reporting that the “View” co-hosts are not happy about sharing a studio and dressing room with the “Tamron Hall Show.”
An ABC source hit back at that assertion, too, insisting, “There are plenty of desks and space to accommodate everyone” in the “gorgeous” building.
However, The Post heard otherwise from a source who alleged, “There are not a lot of desks. People just get drawers, and they are assigned lockers. The new office is very basic. There isn’t enough space or offices. There are no executive suites, just regular-sized offices.”
