Kelly Ripa Caught Co-Host Hubby In Compromising Activity Backstage

Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa obviously have a very loving relationship. However, they never miss the opportunity to call each other out on the daytime talk show. On an episode earlier this month, she revealed to the audience that she caught her husband in a compromising activity backstage.

She noticed he was intently on his phone before the show and snuck up behind him to see what he was doing. She was surprised to see him interacting with strangers all over the world. While a little compromising, the reason he was on his phone was actually wholesome.

Mark Consuelos was playing a riveting game of backgammon with strangers, or simply “opponents,” as he called them. He went on to tell the audience how he often plays the game with the couple’s daughter, Lola. The 23-year-old moved abroad to London last year, so she doesn’t get to see her parents often.

Live Mark Consuelos Compares Wife To Construction Worker

The back-and-forth banter between the Live With Kelly And Mark co-hosts is a big part of the show’s popularity. They recently joked about what he would do if she died. But right before that conversation, Mark Consuelos compared his wife to a construction worker.

Kelly Ripa cited a study that men crave romantic relationships more than women do. She asked her husband if he agreed, and he did. He also agreed that she was “non-romantic” in their marriage. He said it was like being married to a contractor or a construction worker because when he tries to be romantic, she responds in a gruff way.

She continued citing the study that showed that men have greater health benefits from relationships, which led to the conversation about what he would do if she died.
