It wouldn't be surprising if David were to join Kelly for some festive fun over the holidays.
He has a close bond with Kelly, her husband, Mark Consuelos and their three children, Joaquin, Lola and Michael too.

"I immediately cracked into the ABC News system email - which you're not supposed to use unless it's for news - and I wrote: 'Dude. You looked amazing tonight. Don't know what was going on. Looked kinda dangerous where you are. But just wanted to let you know that you looked amazing. I had the volume down.'"
Kelly's bold move may have sparked the friendship which they've nurtured over the years and may just pass down to their dogs!
