Alright, folks, gather 'round because Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are spilling the tea on modern dating. Now, hold on to your hats because this isn’t your grandma’s dating advice. These two have been married for 27 years, so they’re no strangers to love. But when they dove into today’s dating trends on their show Live With Kelly and Mark back on December 29, it was a whole new ballgame. And let me tell you, Kelly wasn’t shy about sharing what gives her "the creeps."
Mark Consuelos Asks the Big Question
Let’s rewind to the start of the episode. Mark, the charming 52-year-old Riverdale actor, leaned in with a question that made the audience sit up and take notice: “When you were dating, did you have a method to entice?” He asked this to his wife and cohost, Kelly, who happens to be 53 years young. Now, this wasn’t just any question—it was like opening Pandora’s box of dating secrets. Kelly’s response? Pure gold. She quipped, “I think you know the answer to that; you dated me.” Classic Kelly Ripa—sharp, witty, and always keeping it real.
The Triangle Method: Love or Creepy?
Mark then brought up a TikTok trend called the “Triangle Method.” If you haven’t heard of it, here’s the gist: You look into one eye of the person you’re smitten with, then their mouth, and finally the other eye. Sounds like something out of a romance novel, right? But according to Mark, this method is often used to set the stage for a kiss. Now, Kelly wasn’t having it. She shot back with her signature sass, saying, “That would give me the creeps. I would run away.” And just like that, the audience erupted in laughter. But Mark wasn’t done yet.

Mark’s Confession: A Shocking Twist
The couple decided to give the Triangle Method a try right there on the show, in front of the live studio audience. But before they did, Mark asked Kelly if she’s nearsighted or farsighted. Her response? “Both.” Mark then joked that Kelly has this mysterious look that makes her seem super sexy—but turns out, it’s just her bad eyesight. The crowd roared with laughter, but what Mark said next left everyone speechless. He admitted, “I’ve been on some dates where I didn’t look at someone’s eyes the whole time.” He mimicked someone saying, “‘My eyes are up here.’” The audience was a mix of laughter and gasps, and Kelly? Well, she was visibly shocked. She fired back, “So that’s how you want to end the show? That’s how you want to end the year?” Classic Kelly, keeping her husband in check.
Mark’s Advice to the Younger Generation
Before wrapping up the segment, Mark had some advice for the younger crowd. He told the camera, “If you’re looking to TikTok for dating advice, stop it. Put the phone down. Ask somebody out on a date to go get a milkshake, a coffee, a latte. Meet them at church like I did. An egg cream. What am I back on Riverdale?” Classic Mark—always bringing it back to the good old days. This funny and revealing segment aired just a day after the pair discussed “emotional cheating” on their show. Kelly, who shares kids Michael, Lola, and Joaquin with Mark, admitted during the previous episode, “This whole conversation is making me uncomfortable.” Clearly, things have gotten interesting on Live as 2023 comes to a close!
