'Live With Kelly and Michael' News Update: Kelly returns to her show after ABC executives apology

"Live! with Kelly and Michael" television show's co-host Kelly Ripa received apology from ABC executives.

According to CNN, the executives "expressed regret for the way Kelly was told the news." Kelly Ripa has reportedly received an apology from network executives after learning of her Live! Co-host Michael Strahan's departure from the show to go to "Good Morning America" full time at the same time as the public.

The CNN reported, the personal apology was conveyed by Ben Sherwood, the president of the Disney-ABC Television Group, and his leadership team, including ABC stations president Rebecca Campbell and ABC News president James Goldston, who also issued apologies to Strahan and the two stars' agents.

After being absent from LIVE! With Kelly and Michael for nearly a week, Ripa is returning to the ABC talk-show Tuesday where she will sit alongside Strahan, marking their first real interaction since the meeting revealing his new gig.

According to a source near to the show, the pair has not spoken to each other since last week but they have been communicating over text.

"It's been simple," a source of E! News shared. "Very cordial."

"As of now, both Kelly and Michael have no plans to see each other before Tuesday's show tapes live in New York City. Instead they are just going in and doing it tomorrow."

Ripa announced her return in an email to LIVE! Staffers Friday. "(Sorry for this late Friday night email). I wanted to thank you all for giving me the time to process this new information. Your kindness, support, and love has overwhelmed me," she wrote. "We are a family and I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday morning. Love, Kelly."

In the meantime, Strahan was last spotted appearing on the 92Y podcast in New York City last night, and although he didn't talk about Ripa, he did discuss his role as a successful businessman, father, citizen and giving back to the community.
