Let’s talk about something we all do but rarely discuss—showering. Kelly Ripa recently gave the audience of Live With Kelly and Mark a glimpse into her unique shower habits, and let’s just say, it sparked quite the conversation. In her usual candid style, Ripa reassured everyone that despite her unconventional routine, she’s “not a sociopath.” But what exactly goes on in that shower? Let’s dive in.
Shower Style Showdown: Facing the Water or Turning Away?
During an episode of their morning talk show on December 13, Mark Consuelos, 52, playfully questioned his wife, Kelly Ripa, 53, about her shower preferences. “Do you shower the normal way? Or the other way?” Mark teased, leaving Kelly momentarily puzzled. He clarified by asking, “Primarily facing the water, or back to the water?”
Why Kelly’s Shower Routine is So Different
It turns out, Ripa’s shower habits are shaped by necessity rather than eccentricity. The couple’s shower head hangs from above the tub, delivering water with such intense pressure that Kelly has adapted a strategic approach. “I slither into the shower from the side,” she confessed, explaining that this method helps her avoid getting drenched immediately. For women trying to stretch out their blowouts or salon appointments, this technique is a game-changer.

“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, that thing is the devil,” Ripa admitted. She joked that she hasn’t showered the “normal” way in 15 years. It’s all about finding what works best for your routine, right?
Mark’s Reaction: Are They Sociopaths?
As it turns out, Mark Consuelos isn’t so different from his wife after all. When Ripa explained her methodical approach to showering—facing the water, turning around, doing her business, and then turning back—Mark was thrilled to discover they shared a similar technique. “That means we’re not sociopaths,” he quipped, earning a high-five from his wife at the news desk.
This light-hearted exchange not only showcased the couple’s playful dynamic but also highlighted how their routines have evolved over the years. Married since 1996 and living in a luxurious New York City penthouse, Ripa and Consuelos clearly enjoy sharing these quirky details about their lives with their fans.
It’s Not the First Time They’ve Discussed Morning Routines
This isn’t the first time Ripa and Consuelos have opened up about their morning rituals. In a previous interview with People in April, Ripa revealed another quirky aspect of their daily lives—Mark’s love for cold showers. “Freezing, freezing cold showers,” she emphasized, sharing that it’s part of his routine.
When Mark officially joined the Live team as a cohost after Ryan Seacrest’s departure, their mornings became even more synchronized. “I’ve never really had to be ready for something where she was getting ready at the same time,” he admitted. To accommodate their shared schedule, Mark now opts for quick showers, ensuring he doesn’t interfere with Kelly’s prep time.
