In a candid moment on Live With Kelly and Mark, Mark Consuelos revealed a surprising challenge he’s facing in his marriage with Kelly Ripa — and it involves morning sex! 
While chatting with guest Christa Miller on March 3, 2026, Consuelos, 54, confessed that their demanding filming schedule for the hit morning show has interfered with their once-cherished morning intimacy. “This job has really gotten in the way of that,” he admitted, referring to how taping the show affects his preference for morning sex. 
Christa Miller, 61, couldn’t help but tease Consuelos, stating, “Mark, there’s no such thing as morning sex. No one likes it… not even on weekends.” Kelly Ripa chimed in with a witty retort: “I always say spooning leads to forking,” before laughing at the playful exchange. 
It turns out that the dynamic between the famous couple, who have been married since 1996, makes for an engaging blend of humor and relatability. Kelly, 55, who celebrated 25 years on Live! in 2026, shared that she was initially unsure how the pairing with her husband would work as co-hosts. “We thought it was a terrible idea. Who wants to watch two married people bicker every morning?” she joked. But as it turns out, their on-air chemistry has captivated fans.
Could the show’s hectic schedule really be putting a damper on their romance, or is there more to the story? Find out what’s really going on behind the scenes!
