Michael gave himself a ten out of ten for coolness - Maria gave him an 11!

The former E! News presenter has co-hosted with Michael in the past and stood in for Kelly Ripa on a number of occasions on Live with Kelly and Michael, before Ryan Seacrest took over from the former baller.

The pair's connection is purely platonic, however, as Maria has been happily married to her husband, Kevin Undergaro, since 2017.
