Kelly Ripa has disclosed her husband’s ‘disgusting’ sexual preference and clarified why it’s not something she enjoys.
Ripa and Mark Consuelos have been married since 1996, and together they have become a well-known couple in daytime television.
The two met while working on the set of All My Children and have since had three children: Michael, who is 28 years old and was named one of the ‘sexiest men alive’ in 2022, Lola, who is 24, and Joaquin, who is 22.
Their careers have shifted towards daytime television as they co-host Live with Kelly & Mark on weekdays on ABC.
Previously, Ripa hosted the show alongside Michael Strahan and Ryan Seacrest. Consuelos joined her as a co-host in 2023 after Seacrest stepped down from the role.
While their relationship has always been under public scrutiny, their joint hosting venture has put them further in the limelight, and Ripa is open about sharing details of their romance.
In a recent appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Ripa revealed her partner’s sexual preference, which she deems ‘disgusting’.
The preference in question? Morning sex.

“I find it disgusting,” Ripa conveyed to host Amanda Hirsch. It turns out that Consuelos prefers this time for intimacy.
With her husband joining her on ABC as a co-host, Ripa opted to eliminate morning sex from their routine.
She recounted: “I said to him, ‘Here’s the thing. There needs to be a yin and a yang here. It can’t always be your way. It feels like 90 percent of the time it’s your way, and now that we work together every day, it’s gonna have to sometimes be my way. And my way’s at night only.'”
As for her reasons for disliking morning sex, Ripa confessed that the morning isn’t when she feels her most attractive.
“I have a retainer in, I gotta rip that out,” she elaborated. “And he’s got his nasal strips on. It’s like we are the most repulsive, disgusting [people]. I’m already pre-disgusted for tomorrow morning.”
However, Consuelos seems to have reconsidered morning sex, given their early work schedule.
“The greatest thing about this job, this thing has almost repulsed him from morning time during the work week, which is like a miracle,” Ripa humorously noted.
