Burn! Mark Consuelos Jokes Relationship With ‘Non-Romantic’ Kelly Ripa Is Like ‘Being Married to a Construction Worker’
Teasing one another is Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ favorite love language!
The longtime lovers put their silly relationship dynamic on full display during the Thursday, May 29, episode of their daytime talk show, Live with Kelly and Mark.
Kelly Ripa Is a ‘Non-Romantic’
At one point during the episode, Ripa brought up a study that claims men “crave romantic relationships way more than women do,” which she found “not surprising” while relating the research back to her and Consuelos’ marriage.
“When I think of who is romantic between us, I would say you are. Do you agree?” Ripa asked her husband, who laughed as he replied: “I do agree.”
Aware she’s a “non-romantic,” the mom-of-three — who share kids Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 22, with Consuelos — said she has to “really focus” when it comes time to show that kind of affection to her partner.
Trolling his wife, Consuelos again agreed with Ripa as he joked: “You’re like being married to a contractor or a construction worker.”
“I’m like, ‘Hey, sweetie,'” the Riverdale actor said sweetly before switching into a more macho tone as he mocked Ripa.
“You’re like, ‘Hey, what’s up,'” he quipped, deepening his voice.

While on the topic of relationships, Ripa also read how “multiple studies suggest that men place more import on romance and they experience greater mental and physical health benefits from being in a relationship.”
“Really? Huh,” Consuelos muttered, as his wife took a jab, stating, “which I know that if you and I broke up, you would absolutely fall apart completely.”

“You don’t understand. We have these conversations all the time,” she revealed. “I’m like, ‘What would happen if you found out that I faked my own death?’ And he’s like, ‘Well, my new wife and I would, you know, we would be very upset at first.’ It’s like our favorite conversation.”
