Regis Philbin is opening up in an interview with Larry King Now about how his relationship changed with Kelly Ripa after he left Live With Regis and Kelly. King asks, "Do you keep in contact?" Philbin responded with, "Not really, no." He went on to explain that when he left the show it was because he was getting older and wanted a more simple life. However, Ripa did not see it that way. ?She thought I was leaving because of her," Philbin says.
