On Wednesday, Kelly Ripa, the co-host of the Live with Kelly and Ryan, said jokingly that she is annoyed about how her husband, Mark Conseulos, looks so good for his age.
Ryan Seacrest, the co-host of the show, told Ripa, “He sent me a photograph of himself a couple of weeks ago,” who asked if it had been shirtless. “He said, ‘Don’t show Kelly.’”
Ripa said that she often gets irritated with Conseulos, who has a fit physique even after minimal efforts and cuts down a few indulgencies to stay in shape. She joked, “I would need a plastic surgeon to get that shredded and glistening look.”
“Whereas Mark just needs to not drink half-and-half for one cup of coffee,” continued Ripa. “He’s like, ‘Oh I didn’t drink half-and-half and then I took a steam shower. I think I look pretty good, what do you think?’ I’m like, ‘I can’t talk to you anymore.’ That’s a bunch of B.S. It’s nonsense.”
The 48-year-old actress added, “Isn’t that irritating? It’s an outrage.”
Ripa went on to say men above 40 years of age “don’t suffer the way” women do because their bodily improvements occur more quickly.
Jokingly, she said, “Fortunately for me, my TV show requires that I wear clothes for all times.”
Ripa admitted that she eats her favorite foods without hurting her waistline because she has a good metabolism.
“I have the metabolism and the blood type that eats carbs. That burns pasta,” added Ripa. “I eat bread and I eat pasta. But they tell me that that’s not so healthy — an all-pasta, all-carb diet — and that I should have proteins and vegetables. But I swear, that makes me sick.” The Stand-In actress returned to her show on Monday after missing the last week’s shows due to sickness. “I feel a lot better,” she said upon her return. And then jokingly, she said, “Rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated.”
