Kelly's Underwear Confession

Kelly Ripa, the ever-charming co-host of Live with Kelly and Mark, is known for her candid and humorous insights into her personal life. Recently, she shared a cheeky revelation on the show that had everyone chuckling. During a fan Q&A segment, her husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, posed an unexpected question: "Should we wear underwear all the time?" Without missing a beat, Ripa emphatically affirmed, "Yes!"

Ripa explained why she's no fan of going commando at night, hilariously attributing her choice to avoiding unexpected pregnancies. "No, no, I'm not airing anything out," she quipped. "I got pregnant at least twice that way," she added, sparking laughter from the audience, including Consuelos himself. She even joked about her ironclad bedtime attire, saying, "I sleep in metal britches – metallic britches with a code. You have to scan your eye [to open them]."

A Peek into the Ripa-Consuelos Family

Kelly and Mark have been relationship goals for many, marking 30 years of marriage filled with love and laughter. They are proud parents to three children: 28-year-old Michael, 24-year-old Lola, and 23-year-old Joaquin. Although the couple keeps family moments private, they occasionally share glimpses on social media. Recently, both Kelly and Mark celebrated Mark's birthday with heartwarming photo dumps on Instagram, delighting fans with rare family photos.

While Kelly typically prefers a more reserved nighttime routine, she's not shy about making bold fashion statements. At the Broadcasting + Cable Hall Of Fame Awards, she turned heads in a daring sheer lace ensemble topped with a black blazer, showing off her impeccable style and flair.

Balancing Work and Romance

Juggling work and romance can be challenging, but Ripa and Consuelos seem to have found their groove. Kelly has candidly discussed how their shared work schedule affects their intimate life. During a July 2025 episode of the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast, she humorously confessed to negotiating their romantic time. "There needs to be a yin and a yang here," she stated, emphasizing the importance of compromise.

Kelly playfully acknowledged that their work dynamic has curbed morning intimacy, calling it "a miracle." Whether it's their on-air chemistry or personal anecdotes, Ripa and Consuelos continue to win hearts with their relatable and refreshing take on marriage.
