Mark Consuelos knows how to push Kelly Ripa’s buttons.
After working alongside her husband of nearly 30 years on Live with Kelly and Mark for the last two years, there’s one thing she can do without.
“He doesn’t listen to me frequently, and he will tune me out while we are live on the air,” Kelly, 54, revealed on the July 15 episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. “And I’m like here’s the thing, I’m used to you tuning me out in life, but when you are being paid—highly paid by the way—to literally listen to me, then you have to listen to me.”
“Literally I watch him,” Kelly quipped of Mark. “I watch him drift away. And I’m like, ‘Hey don’t do that.’”
Mark—who shares kids Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22, with Kelly—joined Live officially in 2023, after Ryan Seacrest’s departure. And while the Riverdale alum is happy to have the job, Kelly admitted that he had a surprising reaction when asked to fill in permanently.
