Live with Kelly and Mark is the gift that keeps on giving.
When Mark Consuelos joined his wife, Kelly Ripa, as cohost for this season of the show, we knew we were in for a real treat. And getting to watch the spouses, who have been married for 27 years, each morning, has been just that.
of how my Lord has forgiven me, and made me one of the honourable.”
We did not send any soldiers from the heavens against his people after his death, nor did We need to.
All it took was one ˹mighty˺ blast, and they were extinguished at once.
(The Quran - Chapter Yasin : 27 - 29)
When they kicked off their Dec. 15 show, they did so in style. Christmas style, that is! Ripa, 53, welcomed their audience to their “annual holiday sweater party,” complimenting everyone on all of their festive gear, but no one could top what she and her husband were wearing.
Nope, no one was a match for these two.
To celebrate National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, Ripa and Consuelos, 52, wore a conjoined Christmas sweater. Together. That they were both inside of. Ripa’s side read “Naughty” and Consuelos’ side read “Nice.”
“I feel like I’m getting to know a whole new you under here,” Ripa joked before grabbing onto her husband under the sweater. “Mark and I are very compatible as a couple, except we have found out, when it comes to wearing a two-person sweater.”
“I don’t know, I feel kind of great,” Consuelos replied with a laugh.
Despite her festive nature in their red, white and green sweater, Ripa couldn’t help but feel a bit constrained while completely tied to her husband. After all, the giant sweater only had two arm holes — for four arms! Anyone would feel a bit clammy in that situation.
“We want to move in different directions!” Ripa told the audience. “Walking through the door is very troubling because we both try to lead so we both got stuck. Your arms are significantly longer than mine, so there’s that. And I feel like you can engulf me with your arm and my little short arm. He’s got me trapped in place in here, so I don’t have freedom of movement. I can’t talk about things!”
The parents of three are in full swing for the holidays and just released their holiday card for the year this week as well — and joked about being on their own.
While last year’s card featured the couple and their three kids — Lola, 22, Joaquin, 20, and Michael, 26 — this year’s card was a little different.
They shared the glam card on Instagram that featured a photo of just the two of them now that all three of their children are out of the house. “Happy Holidays,” they wrote. “Love the Empty Nesters.”
