Let me tell you a little story about Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. You're probably thinking, "What's so interesting about what happens in their bedroom?" But trust me, this is a tale worth hearing. Turns out, the couple doesn’t always have the most peaceful nights, even after being married for nearly three decades. And honestly, isn’t that just life? We all have our quirks, right?
On the Air: A Nighttime Routine Like No Other
During an episode of Live With Kelly and Mark on February 2, Kelly, 53, and Mark, 52, gave us all a peek into their bedtime habits. Now, if you're thinking this is boring, hold up! They opened up about some truly unexpected behaviors that happen when the lights go out. It all started with a study revealing the top ten strangest activities people do while they sleep. Mark, ever the entertainer, brought this up at the beginning of the show, sparking a lively conversation.
Laughing, Crying, and Full Conversations in Slumber
One of the quirky behaviors highlighted in the study was "laughing or crying." You guessed it—Kelly and Mark admitted to doing this quite often. But wait, there's more! Another point on the list? Talking in full sentences while asleep. This is where things got hilarious. Mark playfully mimicked the way Kelly speaks in her sleep, saying, “I’ve heard gibberish in many languages come out of you.” Can you imagine? It’s like they’re speaking in tongues without even trying!

The Accusation: Does Kelly Hit in Her Sleep?
Now, here’s where the conversation took an unexpected turn. The study also mentioned “hitting” as one of the nighttime antics. Kelly, who’s known for her sharp wit, quickly defended herself, saying, “I don’t hit you!” To which Mark, ever the calm one, replied, “No, I’m not saying you do.” But here’s the kicker—Kelly revealed that when Mark snores, she gives him a gentle nudge, hoping it’ll stop. And who can blame her? Who among us hasn’t resorted to a little nudge when our partner’s snoring is drowning out the sound of silence?
Hands Moving, Feet Wiggling: The Small Details
Another item on the list? Moving hands. Mark assured Kelly that she doesn’t do that, but added with a grin, “But, you do have a little foot that moves.” Can you picture it? This tiny foot movement might be the smallest detail, but it adds a layer of charm to their bedtime routine. It’s the little things, right? These quirks make life interesting, and it’s clear that Kelly and Mark embrace every bit of it.
Bedroom Dynamics: Separate Comforters, Separate Corners
Kelly has been candid about their bedtime setup before, even discussing it with former cohost Ryan Seacrest. She revealed, “Mark and I, I’ll tell you this. We come together in the bed for romance and then we go our separate ways.” In July 2022, she elaborated, “We don’t share a duvet or a comforter because it’s just large enough and we are small people, so we just go to our separate corners and there’s room.”
And if you're wondering, they don’t cuddle much either. Kelly explained, “Like, we are romantic, and we have adult sexy time and then when it’s over, we do not touch each other.” She joked, “Once in a while, it’s like, ‘That was fun.’ ‘Yes, it was.’” It’s a setup that works for them, and after nearly three decades of marriage, why change a good thing?
Almost Three Decades and Counting
Kelly and Mark tied the knot back in 1996, and they’ve built a beautiful life together, raising three children—Michael, Lola, and Joaquin. Now that their kids have moved out of their NYC home, the couple enjoys plenty of alone time. Kelly reflected, “It’s almost 30 years, we are not gonna start trifling around with, ‘Let’s experiment with cuddling.’” Some habits are just too good to break.
