On the April 30, 2024, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, actor Mark Consuelos confessed to kissing a woman other than his wife. With his wife Kelly Ripa co-hosting the show, he admitted he locked lips with a woman in Italy while celebrating the championship win of Italy’s Campobasso soccer team the previous weekend.
In the live episode, Mark said,
“When we found out that the other team tied and we are champions … we ran over to our fans… I see this lady, let’s call her my aunt, maybe someone else’s aunt, and we look at each other and she’s so excited and there’s this glass and we come to the glass, and you know what? I kissed her.”
The Riverdale star recounted his recent Italian kiss in detail during the episode. He further added,
“I actually closed my eyes and my back foot went up and like that I laid one on her…It was a smooch, but it was passionate.”
Kelly retaliated by saying,
“That never happens! You never close your eyes!”
Kelly found Mark’s confession about the kiss hilarious and couldn’t contain her laugh. Her main concern, though, was proof, which Mark playfully failed to provide. Even some fans chimed in on the lighthearted mood of the conversation on YouTube.
One comment read,
“Good morning Kelly and mark, how are you today? Yay, Mark is Back that’s awesome…”
Mark’s playful confession might spark some lighthearted debates about appropriate celebratory smooches, but one thing is clear, this couple has mastered the art of a fun-loving relationship.
Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa met during the audition for the 1995 film, All My Children. After a few months of dating, they were married in Las Vegas at the Chapel of the Bells in May 1996. They share three children together and are co-hosts of the show, Live with Kelly and Mark.
