Kelly Ripa has made a huge confession on live television -- sometimes she plays dead to avoid having sex with her husband, Mark Consuelos.
The couple currently co-hosts "Live With Kelly and Mark" together where they discuss various topics. Lately, the two have been discussing their sex life, including the fact that sometimes Ripa does not want to get hot and bothered by her husband... so she plays dead.
Kelly Ripa Compares Her Sex Life To Frogs
On the most recent episode of "Live With Kelly and Mark", the co-hosts discussed how female frogs sometimes play dead to avoid sexual intercourse with male frogs, to which Kelly Ripa compared her love life to.
“Let me just say they learned that from us,” Ripa told audience members, to which Consuelos joked that he keeps a “little mirror” next to the bed, so he can tell when Ripa "fakes her own death."
When his wife is “faking her own death, I put it over her face to see if she’s breathing. If it fogs up, it’s gonna be a nice Friday night!," he said, to which Ripa then joked, “That’s why I’ve learned to hold my breath for 7 to 18 minutes. He thinks I’m dead constantly.”
Consuelos then put an end to their sex life conversation and then went back to reading the study about how “amphibians are taking ghosting to the next level in their world by playing dead to avoid unwanted male interaction.”
Ripa then chimed in with, “The frog will stretch out her arms and legs and act as if she were dead. I gotta try that one," she said laughing. "My death pose is too animated.”
Mark Consuelos Makes 'Spicy' Confession
This is by far the only time the married couple has talked about sex on television. Earlier this week, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos were discussing the new viral TikTok trend of people rubbing hot peppers on their lips to attempt to make them appear bigger. That is when the “Riverdale” actor told Ripa not to do it because those peppers are “very dangerous”.
“Once you touch these things, and you touch something else…,” Conselous said as he pointed to several parts of his body. The 52-year-old then added that the peppers are “very irritating” and can even be “very, very dangerous.”
The ‘Live’ co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos were recently accused of being ‘too sexy’ for morning television as the two have also discussed ‘penises’ on live television. The former soap opera star, however, defended her and her husband's topic selections.
“I think that when we talk about stories in general, like if we talk about them on our show, it gets attributed to us that we’re being sexy," she said adding, "We just can’t help it if we’re covering the news of the day … like, if we cover a story about like, ‘Naked Attraction,’ right? People said I was talking about penises. Well, I wasn’t talking about his p—s. I was talking about other people’s p-----s!”
“And, we can’t help it if we’re sexy!” Consuelos added, laughing.
