Kelly Ripa's Hilarious Encounter with Mark Consuelos' Ex at the Drive-Thru!

Kelly Ripa recently got a taste of more than just food at a local drive-thru.

The television host mentioned casually that she had an unexpected encounter with one of her husband, Mark Consuelos, who has been married for 29 years, and his former girlfriend at a restaurant in Florida, when picking up her take-out order from the window.

If you find yourself at a drive-thru in Florida and the person serving your meal mentions, ‘I once dated your spouse,'” as Kelly shared on the March 11 episode of Live! With Kelly and Mark, “you won’t require any additional information.

Mark seemed equally as unfazed by the chance interaction, quipping, “Tampa’s a very loving city!

Additionally, it isn’t just that one instance where Kelly had such an encounter. She also recounted a past incident when, while attending her son’s wrestling tournament in her home state of New Jersey, she unexpectedly encountered another ex-spouse of hers.

Mark commented, ‘It seems we’re in familiar territory of yours. I can’t help but wonder if any of your former boyfriends will be present? I can’t help but ponder if any of your exes will cross paths? I can’t help but speculate if any of your ex-boyfriends will engage with us,'” Kelly said. “To which I replied, ‘I doubt it.’ And he replied, ‘Well, we’ll find out, we’ll find out.’

Contrary to Mark’s expectation, it was one of his former partners who they encountered right away – within just three seconds of arriving at the tournament, as per Kelly’s account.

Mark joked, “Her sons were good wrestlers, too!”

Absolutely, their past relationships are long gone, for the couple who bonded on the set of All My Children a year before their 1996 wedding, have been married since then. They share three children: Joaquin (22), Michael (27), and Lola (23).

Surprisingly, instead of what Mark had anticipated, it was one of his former partners who they unexpectedly encountered – just three seconds after arriving at the tournament, as Kelly explained.

Mark joked, “Her sons were good wrestlers, too!”

Absolutely, their former partners are long gone from their lives since they got married back in 1996, having met each other a year earlier while working together on the soap opera ‘All My Children’. They have three children – Joaquin (age 22), Michael (27), and Lola (23).

Looking back at all these years, I’m delighted to say that my love for my wife remains as vibrant as ever. Indeed, during our attendance at the TIME100 Gala in 2024, it was impossible to contain my admiration and affection for her.

According to him, exclusively sharing with TopMob News during the event, “I find her particularly charming in the mornings.” He added, “I’ve seen her on television, but it’s a whole different experience seeing her in person. She always seems lovely every day.

Additionally, he pointed out that collaborating with Kelly on the show “Live! With Kelly and Mark” gave him a clear understanding of her remarkable dedication to her work.

The 53-year-old remarked, “I was aware of it, but it wasn’t until I had to perform it daily that I truly understood. She puts in an extraordinary amount of effort every day.

During a 2017 episode of Live! With Kelly, Kelly Ripa playfully criticized her husband Mark Consuelos, stating that after their private moments as a couple, he would become short and irritated with her. However, she later clarified that what she meant was not being mean but rather being completely disinterested, like asleep. When Mark noticed the comment had gained attention in the news, he felt compelled to defend himself, stating that one cannot be mean after something if they are unconscious, as he sleeps.

The kids, Michael Consuelos, Lola Consuelos, and Joaquin Consuelos, are cautious when navigating social media due to a specific reason. For instance, when Mark (their father) took over his show “Riverdale’s” Instagram feed during an episode in 2019, it led to comments like “Oooooooooooo. Daddy, I love when you take over.” This is one of the reasons Kelly (their mother) feels confident that her children have made efforts to remove any trace of themselves on social media. In an interview with TopMob News in April 2023, she stated, “I’m convinced they have blocked any platform containing our names, just as they block us on social media platforms.

Is that a shadow making Bruce Bozzi’s trousers look tight in the old Halloween pictures you posted, Kelly? Your husband had some thoughts on that, saying it could be a shadow causing the bulge. He humorously commented, “ummmmm baby are you seeing shadows?” When you discussed this on Daily Pop with Justin Sylvester, you didn’t shy away from acknowledging the topic and said, “It’s not the only reason we’ve been married so long, but I would say it’s one of the top three.

Instead of grumbling, Kelly found herself meticulously examining her entire body before posting any family memories on Halloween due to the photo frenzy.

When Justin Sylvester commented on Instagram that Kelly had been exceptionally selective with the pictures she posted from a November 2020 tropical vacation, the morning host playfully responded, “You have no idea how precise I’ve been. And it can be quite restricting (I’m not complaining).

In my fangirl enthusiasm, I’d put it this way: What keeps their marriage thriving, even after nearly three decades and three beautiful kids? As Kelly shared on a 2021 episode of Live!, it’s all about love and shared intimacy.

During his stint as a temporary co-host, Mark found himself opening up about their unique approach to handling stress alongside Kelly, while discussing the television series titled “Scenes From a Marriage.

Kelly remarked that in the Consuelos household, such conflicts would be unheard of, as Mark would swiftly address any issues that arose. She explained that he would respond with understanding and solutions, such as, “You seem upset? I know how to handle this. You’re not happy about something? I’ve got it covered. Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t worry, I know what you need.”

She went on to say that for Mark, most matters were resolved through love and intimacy. However, Mark corrected her by saying, “Not everything,” to which she replied, “Just about almost everything.

Mark reacted with some vivid language when Kelly shared a picture of herself wearing a rainbow sequin sweatshirt. Noticing the phrase “More Glitter, Less Twitter” on her clothing, the actor jokingly questioned, “Sweetheart, is that an ‘G’ or ‘C’… I was just curious for a friend.

Reminiscing about her youngest son Joaquin’s 18th birthday, it seems that memories of her own birthdays resurfaced for Kelly. This is because when Mark posted an Instagram tribute in February 2021 saying, “Our little guy is all grown up,” Kelly replied, “You know what? I had a blast making him.” It appears that the process of having Joaquin was quite an exciting adventure, as Mark mentioned they conceived him during a trip to Montreal.

During a September 2022 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Andy Cohen asked his friend if they had played a game called “Have You Ever Had Sex There?” The answer was affirmative for public bathrooms, their “All My Children” set, and even while on a boat. As Cohen joked, “You used to go to the bay in front of my house and have sex on that boat of yours.” However, there are a few places where they haven’t (yet) engaged in intimate activities, 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 evidence from their public displays of affection on Instagram, these locations still remain untouched.

Kelly’s preferred posture is one that showcases her best angle. During the peak of the pandemic, while she was in New York for her show and he was filming “Riverdale” in Vancouver, they developed some amusing sexual routines, as she mentioned on a March 2023 episode of her “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast.

She also came up with a clever solution to hide the effects of gravity over video calls. “I grew so concerned about my looks during FaceTime,” she admitted, “that I started propping up the computer on a ladder, that way I could look up at Mark and he wouldn’t have to see what gravity was truly doing.

It seems that Kelly doesn’t usually involve personal relationships in her professional life. In response to the romance that led to Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes leaving their roles as co-hosts on ABC’s GMA3, Kelly made a lighthearted joke about herself and her husband, stating they were adhering to network guidelines since he joined her at the Live desk.

Previously, in an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in April, she disclosed that she and her husband of 28 years had taken a pledge of abstinence while working together due to ABC’s disapproval of romantic entanglements between TV partners. She further explained, “I know how ABC doesn’t like it when TV partners get too close for comfort.” In other words, they have promised not to engage in any romantic activities outside their professional relationship.

After Joaquin left for college in 2021, Mark and Kelly found themselves accustomed to living alone, or as they put it, “roaming freely around the house.” They enjoyed leaving doors open at will. However, their peaceful solitude was disrupted when Lola returned from London, necessitating them to secure their home again. Joaquin’s summer break visit and Lola’s presence meant they had to lock up once more. When Mark and Kelly moved to their New York apartment for a while, the lack of privacy pushed them to come up with some inventive solutions, as Kelly humorously remarked, “You wouldn’t believe the lengths we go to.

During her final semester of college, Lola found herself regularly entering her parents’ room without first knocking, a habit they were eager to change. To address this, Mark playfully teased his daughter about the unexpected surprises she might find when barging into their room. In a light-hearted exchange during an episode of Live! With Kelly and Ryan in January, Mark said, “Be warned Lola Conseulos, because this week’s a bit ‘freaky,’ isn’t it?” To which Kelly joked, “Why this week? Is this historically freaky week?” Mark responded with a smile, “It is now.” The reason for the adult-themed warning was that Lola had been entering their room without giving notice, prompting Mark to have a conversation with her. He explained, “I said, ‘Lola, I don’t want you to take this the wrong way,'” he shared. “‘I’m very happy that you are home. We missed you. You are the heart of this family. You’re so funny and you’re just fantastic. But please knock before entering.’
