Kelly Ripa Criticizes Mark Consuelos' Fitness Routine

During a recent episode of 'Live with Kelly & Mark', Kelly Ripa expressed her frustration about her husband Mark Consuelos getting fit while she gained weight during her first pregnancy. Ripa humorously recounted how Consuelos, rather than gaining weight alongside her, hired a trainer and became notably more muscular, contrasting her experience of gaining 68 pounds. She joked about how he 'turned into Hercules' while she felt unsupported, noting that public commentary on her body exacerbated her feelings. In a lighter discussion, Ripa mentioned her expectation for Consuelos to eventually develop a 'dad bod', but he denied any plans to let that happen, emphasizing his commitment to fitness. The couple shares three adult children, including son Michael, who is now 27. Ripa’s reflections also highlight her journey with therapy, which she began after turning 40, to better understand herself and her relationship with success.
