Kelly Ripa reveals Mark Consuelos' ‘repulsive' morning habit
The talk show host, 54, revealed that she finds the 54-year-old 'Riverdale' actor's preference for morning sex 'disgusting.'
'Men are morning people. He hasn't learned, he'll never learn,' Ripa said on Wednesday's episode of the 'Not Skinny But Not Fat' podcast. 'He wants to kiss. And I have a retainer in. And he's got his nasal strips on. It's like we are the most repulsive, disgusting. I'm already pre-disgusted for tomorrow morning.'

Since the couple, who tied the knot in 1996, started working together on 'Live with Kelly and Mark,' Ripa has pushed for 'night only' intimacy.
And the morning talk show's early call time has 'almost repulsed' Consuelos from wanting morning sex.
'It's so early, and it's like a miracle. It's like a miracle has occurred,' the actress quipped.

Despite her time of day preference, Ripa views sex like exercise, where being consistent in a routine makes it easier to do.
'The more you do it, the more you do it,' she explained. 'And so, you just have to do it and then you're like, 'Oh, I remember why I like this.''
Ripa also told host Amanda Hirsch her biggest issue when it comes to working with her husband of 30 years.

'He doesn't listen to me frequently, and he will tune me out while we are live on the air,' the 'All My Children' alum stated. 'And I'm like here's the thing, I'm used to you tuning me out in life, but when you are being paid, highly paid by the way, to literally listen to me, then you have to listen to me.'
'Literally I watch him,' she detailed. 'I watch him drift away. And I'm like, 'Hey don't do that.''
Consuelos officially joined Ripa behind the desk in 2023, after Ryan Seacrest's departure. However, at first, it wasn't easy to get the soap star on board.

'It was really convincing Mark,' Ripa recalled. 'Because initially when they came to Mark, he flat out refused.'
'I also thought that was kind of a bad idea,' she confessed. 'I was like a husband and a wife hosting a morning show is different than a husband and wife acting together or producing something together.'
But ultimately, his time on the show has been well-received.

'The audience really responds to Mark because Mark has a gives zero Fs attitude,' Ripa gushed. 'And the audience loves that. There's no artifice with him. If he hates something, he hates it out loud no matter how much we're supposed to love it.'
'And when he thinks something is dumb,' she noted, 'he says it no matter how much we're supposed to pretend to like whatever the thing is.'
Being real is one thing Ripa and Consuelos — who share kids Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22 — pride themselves on.

'We have been together for 31 years and we are not afraid to express ourselves publicly, there is no artifice,' the 'Hope & Faith' alum continued. 'We're not worried about protecting each other's feelings. We both just say what is on our minds and I guess people find that relatable.'
As Ripa put it, 'I love working with him.'
Just last month, the author called out her partner's rigid diet.

'So right before the Academy Awards, I was having trouble getting my dress zipped up the side. It was a side-zip dress, and I kept getting zipped into the dress,' Ripa shared on a June episode of 'Live with Kelly and Mark.'
After following Consuelos's super strict, super high protein diet of yogurt, veggies and steak for three days, the dress fit.
'I don't love it, but I ate exactly how you told me to eat, and that dress zipped right up, no side skin,' she explained.

'And I looked super fit. Super, super fit. So thank you for that.'
However, following his regimen was a one-time thing.
'It's the only time I've listened to Mark about my diet because I typically don't like to do what you're doing,' Ripa went on. 'I just find, you're like, way too disciplined. I can't live that way. But for 72 hours, I can live like Mark Consuelos, so I lived like Mark Consuelos for 72 hours.'

Meanwhile, some people aren't interested in hearing every detail Ripa and Consuelos share with the public.
'I'm pretty sure they've blocked us,' she told E! News in 2023 about her children. 'When you have a news feed and it says 'Suggest more or suggest this, like this or block this channel,' I'm certain they have blocked any channel with any mention of our names. Just like they block us on social media. They block us any way they can.'

Did Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Just Soft-Launch an Engagement?
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have never needed a red carpet to go public — but their phones might be doing the talking for them. On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs star shared a 13-photo Instagram carousel recapping his offseason adventures, and it didn't take long for Swifties to zoom in. In one image, the couple sits at a dinner table, and on the screen of Kelce's iPhone? A black-and-white photo of him and Swift — sparking immediate speculation that it wasn't just a cute snapshot, but an engagement photo. More from SheKnows Taylor Swift & Blake Lively's Tension May Be Behind This Party Snub 'Is she holding up her hand with a ring on it?' one fan commented. 'Not to be that person,' another chimed in, 'but is she pointing at her hand like she's… engaged????' Adding to the frenzy: Swift's own phone appears visible in the same photo. Though slightly obscured, eagle-eyed fans claim her lock screen also features a matching couple shot — one seemingly from their Lake Como trip in May of last year, based on Kelce's striped sweater. For a couple that's never walked a red carpet together, dual lock screens feel like the most Swift-Kelce version of a soft launch. The post marked Kelce's first time featuring Swift directly on his Instagram grid — a big move for a relationship that's been public for nearly two years but still keeps its milestones low-key. Their fans, however, are not so subtle. Comments poured in: 'THE LOCK SCREEN!?' and 'They got married?!' That last theory stems from a separate incident earlier this summer. In June, a wedding planner posted a photo from Chicago Bears player Cole Kmet's wedding — and the invite list included 'Taylor and Travis Kelce,' seated at Table 13. While many chalked it up to wedding-day aesthetic, it was enough to send Swifties into overdrive. For what it's worth, Swift shut down marriage rumors just last month, referring to Kelce as 'my boyfriend' during a hospital visit in Florida. Still, sources close to the couple have confirmed they're 'on the same page' about the future. Still, insiders have confirmed to TMZ that the two are still not engaged, despite the cutesy lock screens and the mysterious ring on Swift's left hand — which happens to be not one, but three of Kelce's Super Bowl rings, mind you. One thing's still clear: the lock screens were no accident. In Swiftian terms, this is a curated kind of chaos — the kind that says, we know what you're looking for — and we just might be giving it to you.

"We Don't Care": Ashley Judd Shared An Insightful Message To Women That's Changing People's Perspectives
Actor and activist Ashley Judd shared a powerful message about being a woman of a certain age and why she supports the "I don't care" mindset. Related: Ashley, who starred in some of my favorite movies from the '90s thrillers like Heat (1995), A Time to Kill (1996), and Double Jeopardy (1999), posted a playfully encouraging video in the Baltic Sea about how she's kicking people's opinions to the wayside. "When I'm in my swimsuit, sometimes I get a little chafing, right down there, so I put on constatrch," she said in a July 22 Instagram post. "And then there's like a white thing there, and if you see it, I don't care." Ashley cited the "We Don't Care" club, a trend that includes hundreds of thousands of women around the world in perimenopause and menopause sharing what they no longer care about, which was founded by influencer Melani Sanders. The She Said actor explained how her inner child is also part of the "Make Stuff Up" club. Related: "And I have a jellyfish, it's the non-stinging kind, and I think the central nervous system is that part, and that may not be right, and I don't care," she added, picking up an actual jellyfish. "Because there's another club that my inner child belongs to and it's called the MSU club." "I'm also picking my crotch, and I don't care. The MSU club is the 'Make Stuff Up' club. And that's for inner children. As a post menopausal woman, I don't care if you don't like the MSU club for inner children," she continued. Related: Ashley did playful "tricks" in the water and expressed the importance of embracing our child-like behavior and wonder. "Because when we were little, it was really fun, and we don't care what people think of us." In the caption alongside the video, Ashley urged people to join her in this empowering movement. "If you let yourself be free, how would your True Self & Inner Child spend your Carefree Timelessness?" she wrote. "How can you let go of what others expect, think, need, want? What do YOU feel, need, want, from yourself?" In a world inundated with negativity, violence, and judgment, Ashley provided a necessary reminder that we can "let go of caring about stupid, controlling norms" and to "bask in the the unselfconscious being-ness" of our true selves. Responding to Ashley's message, one fan wrote, "Women are healing ourselves—in all the ways we feel intuitively called. And we don't give AF what the world thinks about it. Keep on keepin' sister Ashley." Related: "I❤️you Ashley! You are the best! Absolutely! So over worrying about all the gazes-the male gaze, the female gaze, the mother's/grandma's/judgemental auntie/HOA Karen/Chad, the total stranger gaze. The only gaze that matters is OURS!" another wrote. Someone else wrote, "Ohhh Ashley , I dream of having friends like you ! Society is so critical and judgemental , particularly toward aging and appearance. You are a joy to behold ❤️🥰👏 Please continue to share posts like this .Love you lots ❤️💯🥂." To learn more about the "We Don't Care" club, check out this insightful piece on Melani Sanders and the women of the trend. Now let's answer Ashley's question: "If you let yourself be free, how would your True Self & Inner Child spend your Carefree Timelessness?" Share your responses in the comments.
