The discussion revolved around an inspiring project that the couple has undertaken, which has now taken center stage with the premiere of their new ESPN docuseries, Running with the Wolves. This series delves into their journey as owners of an Italian soccer team, offering a unique glimpse into their personal and professional transformation.

Muir expressed admiration for the couple’s achievement, stating, “You’ve really done it,” as he greeted them on the set. He added, “You've gone and bought a team,” while sharing warm hugs with Ripa and Consuelos. The moment was captured in a clip that was later shared across World News Tonight and Ripa's Instagram accounts.

The post highlighted the couple’s new venture, emphasizing how they have embraced their roles as Italian soccer team owners. It described their efforts to help lift a town and its underdog soccer team, showcasing their commitment to the community and the sport. Muir spoke with them about their upcoming docuseries, which promises to be a compelling exploration of their journey.

This announcement comes after Muir made a significant statement during a recent broadcast, where he briefly stepped away from his desk, leaving viewers intrigued by the four-word update he provided. While details remain unclear, the move sparked curiosity among his audience.

Fans have shown immense enthusiasm for the docuseries, with many expressing their excitement online. One viewer wrote, “Just watched the first two episodes! Ready for the next two and hopefully more episodes in the future.” Another commented, “Great story! Good luck,” while a third praised, “Can’t wait to watch this!” A fourth fan shared, “Watched the first episode. Just love it. So interesting to see how things become what they are. Been watching Kelly since the beginning and I am in love with Mark. What an absolutely wonderful couple. I watch every morning.”

A Journey Rooted in Passion

Ripa and Consuelos traveled to Italy, where Consuelos spent the first seven years of his childhood, to support a town and its struggling soccer team. Their involvement with Campobasso FC, a historic Italian club founded in 1919, has had a profound impact on the local community. The team, located in a lesser-known region of Italy, faced the risk of disappearing without the couple’s intervention.

Consuelos shared how the project holds special significance for him, recalling his early years in Italy. “This project is particularly special to me,” he said, highlighting the emotional connection he feels to the region and the team. The couple’s decision to invest in the club came at a critical time, as the town was on the brink of losing its football heritage.

Consuelos credited his Italian mother for instilling his love of the game, especially after her emotional reaction to Italy’s World Cup victory in 1982. Owning part of the team has strengthened their bond, with his mother now offering post-match critiques and discussions. Ripa humorously noted, “She's actually very good; she should be in team management.”

A Community United

The couple’s influence has been felt immediately within the community. Local residents, who have supported the team for decades, welcomed the American owners with open arms. Consuelos reflected on the heartfelt interactions, saying, “People have been fans for 40, 50 years, come up to you and say thank you.” He also mentioned the joy of seeing young fans wearing the team’s jerseys, symbolizing a renewed sense of hope and pride.

Ripa emphasized their commitment to success, stating, “We really want to win for them. Obviously, we want to win, but we really want to win for the town.” Their dedication extends beyond the pitch, as they aim to uplift the entire community through their involvement with the team.

The four-part series, Running with the Wolves, premiered on July 29 on ESPN and ESPN+. It offers an intimate look at the couple’s journey, blending personal stories with the broader narrative of a town and its beloved soccer team. The docuseries promises to be a heartwarming and inspiring addition to the sports documentary landscape.
