When Morgan first started motherhood, in November 2021, she talked to PEOPLE about the parenting advice she received from her former costar on Riverdale, Mark Consuelos, and his wife, Kelly Ripa.
She stated at the time, "I spoke with Kelly [and Mark] after I gave birth [to River]." "They gave me gorgeous, gorgeous baby clothes for River, and they were just so excited for me."
According to her, 53-year-old Ripa also offered a useful advice for recovering from a C-section.
"Yeah, you might still feel pain for up to a year," and other such statements were all she told me. Therefore, speaking with someone else who has experienced it was pleasant. She has helped me heal in that way with some excellent advice," Morgan recalled. /people.com
