Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are not only one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, 

but they have also become a dynamic duo on television. 

The couple, married since 1996, has been co-hosting the popular morning talk show Live with Kelly and Mark since early 2023. 

Their seamless chemistry and shared history have made them an instant hit with fans. 

However, as with any relationship, there are moments of lighthearted tension

and the pair recently shared a humorous moment that gave fans a glimpse into their personal dynamic.

During a February 27 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kelly and Mark reflected on their time hosting Live together. 

Ripa, who has been with the show since 2001, jokingly remarked that they might need two couches for their daily conversations. While their professional rapport seems effortless, Ripa revealed that they typically don’t discuss work at home, preferring to keep their home life separate from the demands of their on-air roles. “We don’t really talk about work at home, ever, because we’re there so we don’t have to fill each other in,” Ripa explained. “We already know what happened and how good or bad it was.”

Despite their apparent ease in front of the camera, Consuelos added that when they do discuss the show, they often forget the guests they’ve had on that day. This prompted Jimmy Kimmel to share that the same thing happens to him, a sentiment that many in the television industry can relate to. Ripa quipped that it felt like a form of “amnesia,” which, according to her, helps them continue in their careers without feeling overwhelmed by the minutiae of each episode.

The conversation then turned to a hilarious on-air moment from Live with Kelly and Mark. Kimmel shared a clip where Ripa could be seen teasing Consuelos for “drifting off” in the middle of a conversation on the show. “I’ve been married to you long enough to know when you’re not listening to me and you are thinking about… you’ve moved on,” Ripa said, trying to guess what he was thinking about. In the clip, Consuelos admitted he had spaced out and was thinking about something completely unrelated to the show—his lunch. He revealed that he had forgotten to order lunch and was debating whether to have the chicken breast or the salmon. Ripa, laughing, turned to Kimmel and remarked, “It happens a lot.”

Consuelos, ever the good sport, explained that as a husband, he’s learned to tune in for “keywords” like “police” or “help,” and during that moment, his mind had simply wandered to food. The amusing exchange was met with laughter from the studio audience, with Ripa playfully calling out her husband. “At least pretend you’re paying attention to me on air,” she joked.

The couple’s candidness about the reality of their marriage—and their ability to laugh at themselves—has only endeared them more to their audience. “That moment at home is 99% of the conversation!” Ripa exclaimed. “From nine until 10, it’s not that hard!” Consuelos, with his characteristic humor, responded, “Sometimes I just take a little nap during the show.”

Their ability to balance humor, work, and family life is undoubtedly part of what makes them such a relatable and beloved pair. Fans have enjoyed watching their chemistry evolve, from their early days on television to their current role as co-hosts, sharing the ups and downs of their professional and personal lives.

It’s clear that the pair’s bond extends far beyond the screen. Their witty banter and genuine affection for one another shine through in every episode of Live with Kelly and Mark. Whether they’re joking about lunch choices or navigating the nuances of co-hosting a morning show together, Kelly and Mark prove that a great relationship—and a great partnership—can make for must-watch television.
