Vacation is starting unexpectedly early for Kelly Ripa after the bombshell news that that her Live! cohost Michael Strahan is leaving their morning talk show for Good Morning America.
Ripa surprised viewers by not appearing on-air for Wednesday’s broadcast, and sources have confirmed to PEOPLE that she will not be returning the rest of the week, and is en route to Turks and Caicos Islands for a vacation with her family.
The host was already scheduled to be off the air on Friday and Monday to go on a “long-planned” 20th anniversary trip with husband Mark Consuelos, a source tells PEOPLE.
“It’s fortuitous that she had this trip planned with her husband and it wouldn’t be surprising if it started early,” the source says.
A second source adds that Ripa, 41, will “definitely” return to the show, but it’s unclear when.

I'm so tired of the selfishness of the industry... Women are emotional creatures by design and women process things far deeper than men. Someone should have given her more time to digest the news.
