Kelly Ripa gets candid on intimacy over podcast–not a Morning Person when it comes to Mark Consuelos
During the podcast, Ripa posed a question to host Amanda Hirsch: 'Are you an evening person or a morning person?' Hirsch quickly replied, 'Definitely not morning. Do not breathe on me in the morning.'
Ripa then explained that men, like Consuelos, tend to be 'morning people' when it comes to the 'deed', which she admitted she finds 'disgusting.' 'I have a retainer in, I gotta rip that out,' she joked. 'And he's got his nasal strips on. It's like we are the most repulsive, disgusting people.' Despite her aversion, Ripa noted that it's important for both partners to find a balance, adding that while Consuelos tends to prefer early-morning intimacy, she's firmly in the 'night' camp.
Ripa went on to share that working together on their morning talk show has unexpectedly curtailed some of Consuelos' morning preferences. "The greatest thing about this job, this thing has, like, almost repulsed him from morning time during the work week," she joked. Ripa added that she's hoping their work schedule keeps him away from morning intimacy, even jokingly wishing, 'May this show last until he suffers from erectile dysfunction!'
The couple, married for 26 years, has always been open about their relationship, which began when they met on the set of All My Children in 1994. Despite their busy careers and differing preferences, Ripa and Consuelos continue to share a strong bond. The couple has three children: Michael, Lola, and Joaquin, and they often reflect on how their relationship has evolved over the years.
In earlier interviews, Ripa has discussed how their connection grew from a deep understanding and shared sense of humor, making their dynamic both comfortable and fun.

Kelly Ripa jokes about taking ‘indecent photos' in front of David Muir's ABC portrait
During the July 1 episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, co-host Kelly Ripa made a humorous and slightly NSFW confession while celebrating fellow ABC anchor David Muir's recent Emmy win. Muir, who earned his third consecutive Emmy for World News Tonight, appeared on the show to discuss his career and the network's move to its new headquarters at 7 Hudson Square in New York City. Ripa and her husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, shared laughs with Muir over his reputation as "Commander Handsome" and the larger-than-life images of anchors now decorating the ABC studio walls. Ripa revealed that she and Consuelos have 'unfettered access' to the building and joked that they often admire Muir's portraits. The conversation took a playful turn when Ripa confessed, 'I have some very indecent photos of me standing in front of your picture that I can't show on the air because they told me it was not suitable for broadcast.' Consuelos added to the moment by joking that 'HR was right next to her' when the photos were taken. Muir responded in kind, recalling other playful moments and teasing Ripa about prior photo offers. Despite the laughs, the hosts also praised Muir's accomplishments. Muir said he was proud to let his team accept the Emmy in his absence, acknowledging their hard work over the past 11 years amid increasingly serious news cycles.
