Kelly Ripa Reveals Husband Mark Consuelos Often Ignores Her on Live

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, who began co-hosting Live with Kelly and Mark in 2023 following Ryan Seacrest's departure, have shared insights into their dynamic on the show. Ripa revealed on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast that her biggest annoyance is Consuelos tuning her out during live broadcasts, despite being highly paid to listen. Despite this, the couple’s on-air chemistry has been well-received, with Consuelos’ candid, no-nonsense attitude attracting a new male audience to the show. They also discussed how the show is commonly discovered by viewers in hospitals due to its light, non-political content, which they describe as having a 'healing power.' Interestingly, while their show is popular among many, their adult children do not watch it, with their youngest son tuning in primarily to watch host Seth Meyers rather than them. The couple, married for nearly 30 years, have embraced working together publicly, with Consuelos describing the show as a safe place for their on-air arguments.
