Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, the power couple adored by millions, are known for their candid and humorous banter on their morning talk show, Live with Kelly and Mark. However, in a recent episode, Ripa took the opportunity to tease her husband, Mark, for an unexpected reason – his nocturnal disruptions.
During the March 20th episode of their show, Ripa playfully revealed to the audience that her husband had kept her awake the previous night, setting off a wave of intrigued murmurs among the spectators. However, she was quick to clarify that the reason behind it wasn’t what everyone might assume.
“Mark kept me awake all night last night,” she disclosed, prompting initial reactions from the audience. However, she swiftly added, “No no, it’s not that, it’s not what you think.”
The atmosphere lightened up as Mark chimed in, humorously calling the crowd “disgusting” in jest, before Ripa proceeded to divulge the real reason behind her sleepless night – her husband’s relentless snoring.
“You were very,” she began before pausing, “vocal last night. A lot of sounds. A lot of snoring. I put in my noise-canceling headphones. Normally they work beautifully, but they did not work last night.”
Despite her attempts to drown out the noise with her trusty headphones, Ripa humorously lamented that even her beloved podcast couldn’t mask Consuelos’s nighttime symphony. She humorously noted that she “couldn’t hear Keith Morrison over the snoring,” referring to the host of the popular investigative series, Dateline.
Desperate for reprieve, Ripa resorted to physical measures. “I started jostling you, and jiggling you,” she explained, “and some light kicking, and some light slamming on the bed next to you.”
Consuelos, ever the good sport, joked, “Maybe I was dying,” prompting Ripa to swiftly reject the notion, asserting, “No, you were not dying.”
This playful exchange between the couple is just one of the many glimpses into their dynamic that they offer their audience. Since Consuelos joined Ripa as co-host last year, they have frequently shared personal anecdotes and insights into their 27-year-long marriage, much to the delight of their viewers.
Their ability to blend humor with genuine affection is a testament to the strength of their relationship, which began on the set of All My Children in 1995. Despite initial skepticism, Ripa confessed to E! News in 2022 that she had an inexplicable certainty that they would be together forever, a sentiment Consuelos echoed.
Their journey together has seen them through various milestones, including the graduation of their three children – Michael, Lola, and Joaquin. These family moments, often shared on social media, provide fans with a glimpse into their tight-knit unit and the love that binds them together.
Whether it’s celebrating graduations, embarking on family vacations, or simply enjoying each other’s company, Ripa and Consuelos continue to inspire with their unwavering devotion to each other and their family.
As they navigate the ups and downs of life, one thing remains certain – Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are a force to be reckoned with, both on-screen and off-screen, proving that love, laughter, and a healthy dose of teasing are the key ingredients to a successful marriage.
