ABC News anchor David Muir took a break from his usual spot behind the newsdesk this week to celebrate the premiere of Running With The Wolves, a new ESPN docuseries from his longtime friends Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. The show follows the couple’s journey as owners of the Italian Campobasso Football Club.
Muir attended the red carpet premiere in New York and later offered his congratulations via Instagram, posting a photo of himself at the event with the caption, “Thanks for having me.” He also expressed his admiration for the series.
Running With The Wolves is a four-part series premiering July 29th. It promises a behind-the-scenes look at how Ripa and Consuelos transformed the Campobasso club into a winning organization after taking ownership in 2022. While the couple has not publicly disclosed the financial details of the acquisition, Forbes reports the team’s value is estimated at $10 million.
The friendship between Muir and the celebrity couple is well-documented. Ripa even dedicated a portion of her book, Live Wire, to Muir, describing him as her “backbone and moral compass.” She has also recounted a humorous anecdote about first seeing Muir on television and subsequently emailing him through the ABC News system to compliment his appearance.
