On a recent episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, Kelly Ripa playfully called out her husband, Mark Consuelos, for criticizing her bedtime habits. The lively exchange had viewers and the studio audience in stitches, highlighting the playful banter that keeps this power couple connected after nearly three decades of marriage.
When Cheese Turns Into a Bedroom Debate
During an episode that aired on January 31, Kelly, 54, and Mark, 53, were chatting about a report suggesting that eating cheese before bed could help prevent sleep apnea. Kelly, always the enthusiast, suggested they incorporate this habit into their nightly routine. But things got interesting when Mark playfully proposed placing "two little things of cheese on either side of the bed." Kelly's reaction was priceless—she was clearly amused by his suggestion, especially considering his past stance on eating in bed.
As the conversation continued, Kelly revealed that Mark had criticized her in the past for eating in bed at their New York City home. Mark’s expression was priceless—a mix of confusion and disbelief. "Because that’s eating in the bed," Kelly pointed out, emphasizing that for years, one of them had been shaming the other for this habit.

A Journey Through Their Snack History
Mark, clearly trying to recall the situation, asked, "When?" Kelly didn’t miss a beat, responding, "For the first 28 years of our marriage." The audience erupted in laughter, and even the producers behind the camera couldn’t contain their giggles. However, Mark was still puzzled, asking, "What would you eat in bed?"
Kelly, always ready with a comeback, replied, "Everything. And you would say, 'That’s disgusting. Eating in bed is disgusting.' But then, you started eating peanut butter and jelly in bed, and suddenly it was fine!" The crowd went wild, appreciating the honesty and humor in their exchange.
"Are you sure that was me?" Mark asked, which sent the audience into another round of laughter. Kelly, confident in her memory, reassured him that he was indeed the one critiquing her habit. However, she pointed out that Mark also developed the habit of eating in bed, making his criticism somewhat hypocritical.
When Bedroom Rules Change
Kelly explained that Mark started eating in bed while filming Riverdale in Vancouver, Canada. "And he lived there for a long time. So the rules in the bed changed," she said. "For me, I started allowing the dogs to sleep in bed." Mark chimed in, "You took my side of the bed, too." Kelly confirmed, "Correct. And then you started, I believe, eating in your own bed in Vancouver, and you came home and brought that habit home with you."
For Kelly and Mark, this kind of playful banter is par for the course in their long-lasting marriage. In another episode, they discussed a study that revealed how 17 percent of married readers typically picture their spouse when imagining the love interest in a novel, while others envision their celebrity crush. Kelly joked that Mark was both her husband and her celebrity crush, saying, "But you’re also my husband, so I feel robbed of a true celebrity crush." Mark quipped back, "It’s like having your birthday on Christmas." Kelly concluded, "Correct. Same. Same, but different."
