Kelly Ripa reveals husband Mark Consuelos’ ‘disgusting’ morning sex demands

Article content

Kelly Ripa is spilling on what goes on behind the closed doors of her and Mark Consuelos’ bedroom.

The Live with Kelly and Mark host, 54, appeared on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, where she explained that she and Consuelos, also 54, don’t always agree on when to have sex.

“I don’t know about you in your marriage, but I’m going to go personal. Are you an evening person or a morning person?” Ripa asked host Amanda Hirsch.

“Definitely not morning,” Hirsch replied. “Do not breathe on me in the morning.”

Ripa was in agreement but noted that “men are morning people,” and in particular, Consuelos wants to have sex “only in the morning,” which the former All My Children star deemed “disgusting.”

She added of her husband of 29 years: “He’ll never learn,” she jokingly added. “He’s a guy.”

But Consuelos has had to change his way of thinking after taking over as Kelly’s co-host in April 2023.

“I said to him, ‘Here’s the thing, there needs to be a yin and a yang here. It can’t always be your way. ‘Cause it feels like 90 per cent of the time it’s your way. And now that we work together every day, it’s going to have to sometimes be my way, and my way’s at night only.’”

Ripa added that Consuelos also enjoys kissing her in the morning, which she doesn’t love.

“I have a retainer in. I gotta rip that out,” she said. “And he’s got his nasal strips on. It’s like we are the most repulsive, disgusting [people].”

But Ripa noted that men “don’t care” about things like that and that the “d*** has a brain of its own.”

She jokingly added: “I’m already pre-disgusted for tomorrow morning.”

While Ripa revealed the pair don’t have sex every morning, she said there has been an unexpected benefit to working with her husband.

“The greatest thing about this job, this thing has like, almost repulsed him from morning time during the work week, which is like a miracle,” she said.

“May this show last until he suffers from erectile dysfunction,” she jokingly added, pointing out that now that he’s in his mid-50s but impotence has yet to be an issue.

“Shouldn’t that be happening now? I was promised!”

Ripa did share her and Consuelos’ secret to keeping things spicy after nearly three decades of marriage.

“It’s like exercise. The more you do it, the more you do it,” she said of having sex. “You just have to do it, and then you’re like, ‘Oh! I remember why I like this.’”

The couple met on the set of All My Children in 1995, started dating shortly after, and tied the knot the following year.

They have three children — Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22.
