Kelly Ripa Expresses Resentment Over Husband Mark Consuelos Aging Difference

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, both 54, have playfully discussed the fact that Ripa feels she is aging more noticeably than Consuelos, despite their small age gap. On their show Live With Kelly and Mark, Ripa confessed she resents that Mark shows very few signs of aging, joking about his minimal gray hairs compared to her many, which she says would leave her bald if plucked. They attributed the differences in aging partly to women's greater stress, including childbirth and caregiving responsibilities. Their banter highlights their long marriage and close age gap, which studies suggest is ideal for relationship happiness. Despite Ripa's frustrations, the couple enjoys a lighthearted dynamic, with Mark jokingly accepting his youthful appearance and advising Ripa to embrace her gray hair. Their conversations also touch on broader topics like aging, stress, and the challenges of maintaining appearance over time.
