Kelly Ripa resents Mark Consuelos for not looking older
The couple are both 54 years old and the presenter admitted the fact she is six months his senior "bothers" her every day, in particular because he has few lines or grey hairs.
Speaking on Live With Kelly and Mark, Kelly said: "Every day that I wake up aging like six months more than you, it bothers me.
"I resent the fact that you just aren't aging. At all. In any way. I mean, a little bit."
Mark joked he is "fine with it" but Kelly insisted she is resentful" because of how she has changed as she has got older.
She exclaimed: "It's your fault!"
She then said: "He just now started to get like three hairs, and he's like, 'Can you see it? Can you see the grey hairs?'"
Mark -who has Michael, 28, Lila, 24, and Joaquin, 22, with Kelly - insisted he won't be pulling out his greys.
Kelly said: "No, don't pluck them. "If I had plucked out my grey hairs, I'd be bald. Completely bald. Totally bald."
The couple's candid conversation began when they spoke about the ideal age difference for couples, with a study finding the happiest couples have a gap of under three years.
Kelly argued women often look older because they have "greater stressors on our systems."
Mark suggested childbirth was one, and his wife agreed and added: "Or just generalised worrying about every single person in our lives at all times. So I think that ages people in a way."
Kelly recently admitted she is considering going back to school now her youngest son has almost finished his studies.
Speaking on the couple's ABC morning talk show, Kelly - who dropped out of a psychology course at Camden County College in New Jersey to pursue acting - said of her son: "We keep begging him to go to grad school."
Mark chimed in and suggested: "You know what you should do? Now that he's going to be out, you should go to school, and he won't be weirded out by his mom being in class."
Kelly continued: "My whole thing is I want to go to college, I want to go to a four-year university, and I want to get my degree in something. What? I don't know ...
"I should go into broadcast — that's an easy A. I'll take an easy A. I'll go into communications!"
However, the former All My Children actress had a change of heart because she felt she has already learned "probably what they teach not to do" on her daytime show.
She mused: "Maybe psychology, maybe I'd take a writing class.
"I'll teach reverse psychology.
"I'll be an adjunct professor."

‘Wrong person': Khaled Sabsabi and Michael Dagostino reinstated to represent at art show following dismissal for 'controversial' work
Creative Australia acting chairman Wesley Enoch has issued a public apology to reinstated artists Khaled Sabsabi and Michael Dagostino after they were dropped from representing Australia at the 61st Venice Biennale in February. The pair were dumped as the nation's artists in February just five days after being selected to represent, after Mr Sabsabi's previous works resurfaced, including a depiction of former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and a video of 9/11 featuring President George W. Bush saying, 'thank you very much.' The decision to restore the artists came after Creative Australia, the nation's official arts council, found 'a series of missteps, assumptions and missed opportunities,' had contributed to the decision to drop them from the art show in February. Appearing on ABC RN on Thursday morning, Mr Enoch said the artists suffered an immense amount of 'hurt and pain' from the sacking. 'To Khaled and Michael – I've done it in person but to say it here very publicly – I want to apologise to them for the hurt and pain they've gone through in this process,' he said. 'Though we will be stronger as a sector because of it, I know it's come at a personal cost, not just to them, but also to a whole range of people in the arts sector.' Mr Sabsabi, a Lebanese Australian artist, and Mr Dagostino shared their 'deepest and heartfelt thanks' for the decision. 'This decision has renewed our confidence in Creative Australia and in the integrity of its selection process,' they said. Arts Minister Tony Burke backed the decision to restore the sacked artists, and said evidence showed the art did the 'exact opposite of something that could be seen to promote terrorism.' 'The report has shown that these works have not been regarded in any way as promoting those involved with terrorism – the artist has made the same thing clear,' he said. 'It makes complete sense that Creative Australia have recommissioned Khaled Sabsabi and Michael Dagostino. Their decision has my full support.' Appearing on ABC RN on Thursday morning, shadow arts minister Julian Leeser slammed the decision, and said Mr Sabsabi was the 'wrong person' to be representing Australia. 'When an artist has a history of presenting terrorist leaders like Hassan Nasrallah… I think particularly at this time this is the wrong person to be representing our country,' he said. 'Particularly given the tensions in Australia and the declining level of social cohesion and the anti-Semitism crisis that we've faced in this country.' Mr Leeser said the arts minister has some 'serious questions' to answer regarding Creative Australia's credibility. 'This has been a deeply flawed process from the beginning and has now led to a ridiculous outcome,' he said. 'It diminished the power of Australian art as a tool of soft diplomacy.'

The blue-haired man from the moon celebrated for 40 years on television
The squiggle lives. For 40 years Norman Hetherington was known for his creation, Mr Squiggle, a blue-haired man from the moon who used his pencil nose to turn a child's squiggle into a giggle. From 1959 to 1999 on ABC television, Mr Squiggle, a puppet made, voiced and operated by Hetherington, transformed 10,000 children's drawings into what they saw as masterpieces. 'It's a duck that wants to be a ballet dancer,' he said of one. Very often they were drawn upside down. Now the next generation can have a squiggle. A new exhibition, Mr Squiggle and Friends, The Creative World of Norman Hetherington opening at the National Museum of Australia on Friday includes an interactive screen where a new generation can turn an original squiggle into a drawing of their own. It includes nearly 300 objects from the Hetherington collection of more than 800 items, including hundreds of puppets, and was curated by museum deputy director Dr Sophie Jensen. Jensen said that as a unique piece of Australian history, it was hard to imagine another television program that had touched as many people as Mr Squiggle. 'It doesn't matter who you talk to,' she said, someone will have been on the show, watched it or knew someone who was on it. 'It's part of its magic. You only get that with a show that was on the air for 40 years, that covers generations. And 1959 to 1999 was a pretty remarkable stretch in Australian life.
