Kelly Ripa Confirms No Dating If Marriage to Mark Consuelos Ends

During the July 2, 2025, episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Kelly Ripa humorously discussed a hypothetical scenario in which she and her husband, Mark Consuelos, might separate. She declared that if they ever split, dating would be completely off the table for her due to the complexities of raising their three children. Ripa also expressed that she would never want to be physically intimate with anyone else, joking about how she resents having to get naked even in front of Consuelos, and insisted on strict conditions like complete darkness and no unexpected touching. The couple, who met on the soap opera All My Children in 1995 and married in 1996, have three adult children and celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary in May 2025. Despite these discussions, their relationship remains strong, with their candid and playful dynamic continuing to entertain fans of their show. The conversation originated from Ripa referencing an article about what women shouldn’t do to attract men, leading her to ironically claim she would do all the opposite to repel them.
