Kelly Ripa Shares Intimate Look at Date Night With Mark Consuelos

As a seasoned broadcaster with decades of experience under my belt, I find Kelly Ripa’s antics both amusing and relatable. The way she juggles her personal and professional life, often with a touch of humor, is something many of us can resonate with.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are keeping their flame alive with nights out.

In other words, the host of “Live with Kelly and Mark” shared a peek at their romantic evening out with her husband of 28 years, which they attended at the premiere of “Sunset Blvd.” on Broadway on October 20th.

In her Instagram Stories, Kelly, wearing a green dress featuring a black lace overlay, snapped a selfie alongside Mark, dressed in a traditional black tuxedo. The photo, taken in their room, was accompanied by the caption: “Going out with @instasuelos.

She also shared a snap of her playbill for the production, writing, “Simply brilliant.”

The pair, who got married in 1996, understand that maintaining an attractive appearance contributes significantly to their relationship. In essence, it appears this factor plays a vital role in their compatibility.

In an interview with TopMob News back in April, Mark shared, “She always appears lovely first thing in the morning. I watch her on television, yet there’s something about seeing her in person that makes me appreciate it even more. Every day, she looks just as wonderful.

It’s a pleasant habit, as Kelly mentioned, because it offers a change from their usual home life, yet she doesn’t express any discontentment.

At home, there’s a noticeable change, as the 54-year-old explained. It’s a laid-back atmosphere – quite informal. We often remark that at our workplace, we encounter one another all dressed up.

However, the couple, who are parents to Michael Consuelos (age 27), Lola Consuelos (age 23), and Joaquin Consuelos (age 21), understand that maintaining a marriage for almost three decades involves much more than just having children together. Kelly likens it to constructing a “solid foundation in a house.

In my fervent admiration for the essence of matrimony, I passionately convey that the key to a successful union lies within oneself. Regardless if one dabbles in commerce, arts, or sciences, having a strong domestic bond serves as the bedrock for any endeavor. With this unshakeable foundation at home, one’s professional life, too, becomes steadfast and resilient.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but reflect on the importance of nurturing that bond, even when it seems challenging. Take Mark’s playful promise to Kelly during his birthday tribute in October – “I’ll try to cut down on the snoring.” It’s those small gestures that show a willingness to grow together and keep our love strong.

After all, his snoring has been a point of playful contention over the years.

On Live with Kelly & Mark in March, Kelly shared with her husband that she found him quite talkative the previous night. There seemed to be a lot of snoring, which usually wouldn’t be an issue for her, but unfortunately, her noise-cancelling headphones didn’t manage to block it out last night.

She playfully nudged, shook, and occasionally tapped you, along with a gentle thumping on the mattress nearby, and she said, “Nothing could halt you then.

Now, keep reading for more of Kelly and Mark’s candid confessions.

During a 2017 episode of Live! With Kelly, Kelly Ripa playfully criticized her husband Mark Consuelos for being rude after their private moments. She said, “When we have special time as a couple at home, he becomes short with me and I don’t like it. I think it’s strange. He acts irritated.” Although she later clarified it was a joke, Mark felt compelled to explain when the comment made headlines. On-air later, he humorously defended himself by stating, “I just wanted to clarify that no one can be mean after something if they are asleep. I sleep.” Kelly then added, “Perhaps what I meant was not actually being mean, but completely uninterested – like sound asleep.

There’s a reason kids Michael Consuelos, Lola Consuelos and Joaquin Consuelos are forced to tread lightly whenever they take an innocent scroll through social media.

Consider the time Mark revealed he’d be “taking over” the Instagram feed for his series Riverdale during a 2019 episode, prompting Kelly to comment, “Oooooooooooo. Daddy, I love when you take over.”

It’s just one of the reasons why the morning show fixture is pretty confident her children have done their best to erase any sign of them from social media.

“I’m certain they have blocked any channel with any mention of our names,” Kelly told TopMob News in April 2023. “Just like they block us on social media. They block us any way they can.”

In 2020 when Kelly shared a collection of Halloween throwbacks featuring Mark and friend Bruce Bozzi in full CHiPs costumes, her husband had an observation about the snugness of his pants. He commented, “Full disclosure, I think that’s definitely a shadow causing that bulge,” to which she replied, “Ummm baby, are you seeing shadows?

Instead of grumbling, the excessive Halloween photo-taking routine led Kelly to scrutinize her entire body before posting any personal family moments online.

In a 2021 episode of Live!, Kelly put it this way: The key to their long-lasting marriage, spanning nearly three decades with three children, is “love and intimacy.

The couple’s intimate way of dealing with stress came up when Mark was filling in as a guest co-host and he and Kelly were discussing the show Scenes From a Marriage.

As a lifestyle advisor, I might rephrase it as follows: “I couldn’t help but think, ‘This chaos would never touch the Consuelos family home, for Mark would swiftly address any issues that arose,’ Kelly remarked about their dramatic portrayal. He’d likely respond with something like, ‘Darling, I see you’re upset. Let me ease your concerns. If there’s something bothering you, I’ll make it right. And if you feel overwhelmed, don’t worry, I have a plan to help you relax.’

She continued, “Because everything for Mark is settled with—” before Mark interjected, “Love.”

Kelly mentioned, “Love and intimacy.” Mark responded, “Not all aspects, not all aspects!” Yet, she clarified, “Almost all of it, just about.

Mark responded to Kelly’s post featuring a vibrant rainbow sequin sweatshirt with some playful and vivid words. Referring to the “More Glitter, Less Twitter” message on her top, the actor humorously inquired, “Darling, is that an ‘G’ or a ‘C’… I was just wondering for someone else.

Reminiscing about her youngest son Joaquin’s 18th birthday brought back memories of an unusual kind for Kelly. In February 2021, when Mark posted an Instagram tribute saying, “Our little guy has grown up,” Kelly playfully commented, “You know what? Having him was such a blast.” Interestingly enough, it seems that the conception of Joaquin took place during a trip to Montreal.

During a September 2022 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Andy Cohen asked his friend a question about a game called “Have You Ever Made Love Here?” The answer was affirmative for various locations, including public bathrooms, sets during their “All My Children” days, and boats. However, there are still some places they haven’t (yet) made love, such as in a car on the way to an event, in a department store dressing room, or on the set of her daytime talk show. Despite the strong PDA on Instagram, it seems that these locations remain untouched.

What position does Kelly prefer? The one that highlights her best feature. During the peak of the pandemic, with her show in NYC and him filming Riverdale in Vancouver, they developed some outrageous sexual routines, as she shared on a March 2023 episode of her Let’s Talk Off Camer podcast.

It seems that Kelly doesn’t typically intertwine professional and personal relationships. In a humorous reference to the recent romance of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes on ABC’s GMA3, Kelly playfully stated that she and her husband are now adhering to network guidelines since he joined her at the Live desk.

After Joaquin left for college in 2021, Mark and Kelly found themselves accustomed to living in an empty nest. As they had grown used to moving freely around their home, leaving doors open as they pleased, they were surprised when Lola returned from London, necessitating the reinstatement of locks. During Joaquin’s summer break, they once again found themselves needing to secure their home.

When Lola resided with her parents again during her final college semester, she developed a pattern of entering their room without first knocking, which they wished to change.

In a manner typical of Mark, he playfully hinted at changes his daughter might encounter upon unexpectedly entering their room from now on.

During an episode of “Live! With Kelly and Ryan” in January, Mark said to Lola Consuelos, “You better watch out, Lola. This week, it’s quite unusual, isn’t it?” To which Kelly responded with a chuckle, “What about this week? Is this week known for being particularly strange?” Mark replied with a smile, “Indeed, it is now.

What caused the NSFW (Not Safe for Work) warning? During the show, Mark and Kelly mentioned an incident where Lola frequently entered their bedroom unexpectedly. In response, Mark had a conversation with her to address this issue.

He clarified, “Lola, I don’t want my words to be misunderstood. It’s wonderful to have you back! We’ve really missed you. You’re the soul of our family, always making us laugh and being amazing. However, could you please watch your step?
