Kelly Ripa And Mark Consuelos Spill The Beans On Their Hilarious Nighttime Routine

Let’s face it—celebrities are often seen as living a picture-perfect life, but Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are here to remind us that even their nights aren’t always glamorous. During an episode of their hit talk show, Live With Kelly and Ryan (yes, Ryan Guillen sometimes takes Mark’s spot, but today it was all about the couple), the duo opened up about their less-than-sexy bedtime rituals. And let me tell you, it was a hilarious reality check.

Now, picture this: it’s the end of a long day, and Kelly, 52, is getting ready to hit the hay. But before she drifts off, she’s got her nightly routine down to a science. “It’s great because the two of us, we come here to work and we’re like, ‘Oh, look at you, look at you.’ But last night, when we gave each other a kiss goodnight, I had my retainer in and all my creams on—like, I’m slimy,” Kelly confessed with a laugh. “When I go to bed, you can slip right off me. I had my creams on and my retainer in. And then Mark? Oh, he’s got his nasal magnets on!”

Mark Agrees: Bedtime Isn’t Always Glamorous

Mark, 51, sat there nodding in agreement as his wife of 28 years dished about their bedtime antics. He chimed in, acknowledging that their nighttime routine has evolved over the years. Back in the day, it was all about romance and passion. Now? Well, let’s just say the reality of life has settled in. “We should really tape a segment of us just getting ready for bed,” the Emmy-winning actor joked. “Because honestly, it’s probably the least sexy thing you’ll ever see. But hey, it’s real life, right?”

Love Beyond the Glamour

Despite the lack of glamour, Kelly and Mark’s relationship remains as strong as ever. “We’re not the sexiest people anymore,” Kelly admitted with a smile. “But back in the day, we were hot for each other, and things looked hotter. Love evolves, and so does the way we show it.” The couple, who tied the knot in 1996, has built a relationship that’s rooted in honesty, humor, and mutual respect. It’s clear that their love has only grown stronger over the years.

It’s no secret that Kelly and Mark have built a strong foundation of trust and openness in their relationship. This is evident in their candid conversations on Live. Take, for instance, the time Mark asked Kelly if she showered "the normal way" or "the other way." Her response was both hilarious and relatable. “If you’re a woman, and I’m going to speak to the ladies here, and you don’t want to get your hair wet because you’re trying to extend your blowout and your salon appointment, that thing is the devil,” Kelly joked during a December 2023 episode of the show. “I haven’t showered the normal way in 15 years!”

Shower Secrets: A Shared Routine

So, what’s Kelly’s secret to staying clean without soaking her hair? “I go in, face it, turn around, do my work, and then turn back around,” she explained. And guess what? Mark, who loves taking cold showers, follows the same method. “That means we’re not sociopaths,” he quipped, adding a touch of humor to their shared habit. It’s moments like these that make their relationship feel so real and relatable.
