Mark Consuelos Agrees That He Is More Romantic Than His “Non-Romantic” Wife Kelly Ripa: “Like Being Married To A Contractor”

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos both know who the more romantic partner is in their relationship.

During Thursday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa shared a study claiming that “men actually crave romantic relationships way more than women do,” a finding she didn’t find “surprising” in the context of her marriage to Consuelos.

“When I think of who is romantic between us, I would say you are,” she told Consuelos. “Do you agree?”

Consuelos replied with a chuckle, “I do agree.”

Ripa acknowledged her “non-romantic” nature, noting she must “really focus” to access that side of herself. Consuelos humorously agreed, likening their marriage to being with “a contractor” or “a construction worker.”

“I’m like, ‘Hey, sweetie.’ You’re like, ‘Hey, what’s up,’” he teased in a gruff voice.

Though women are often seen as “more invested” in romance, Ripa noted that “multiple studies suggest that men place more importance on romance and experience greater mental and physical health benefits from being in a relationship.”

Consuelos chimed in, “Really? Huh.”

Ripa teased, “Which I know that if you and I broke up, you would absolutely fall apart completely.”

After Consuelos claimed “that’s true,” he received some sympathy from the audience, before hitting Ripa with a zinger.

“But I do feel like someone would be there on the other end just to pick me up and make sure I’m ok,” he joked. “I’d have to get used to their college schedule and all that stuff.”

Ripa and Consuelos both got a kick out of the moment, as she told her husband, “Oh my God. Oh, dear God, I hope I live to see your second wife.”

While Consuelos attempted to move onto introducing the show’s upcoming segments, he and Ripa could not stop laughing, as Ripa told viewers this is her “favorite conversation.”

“You don’t understand. We have these conversations all the time,” she quipped. “I’m like, ‘What would happen if you found out that I faked my own death?’ And he’s like, ‘Well, my new wife and I would, you know, we would be very upset at first.’ It’s like our favorite conversation.”
