Kelly Ripa's Honest Moment on Live With Kelly and Mark
During an episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, Kelly Ripa opened up in a surprisingly vulnerable moment, admitting that she felt like she may have fallen short in her marriage to Mark Consuelos. It’s not every day you hear a star of her caliber share such personal feelings, and it’s a testament to her authenticity and willingness to be real with her audience.
It all started when guest star Josh Hutcherson stopped by the show. Josh, who's known for his role in The Hunger Games, shared a charming story about how he learned to speak Spanish because of his girlfriend, Claudia Traisac. “She’d say, ‘Mi amor, you have to learn. You have to advance,’” Josh told Kelly, 53, and Mark, 52, mimicking Claudia’s affectionate tone.

Josh, who splits his time between Los Angeles and Madrid while juggling his acting career and relationship, emphasized the importance of meeting his partner halfway. It’s not just about learning a language; it’s about connecting on a deeper level and showing dedication to the person you love. This simple yet profound gesture sparked a thoughtful discussion between Kelly and Mark.

Kelly, ever the quick-witted host, turned the conversation toward her own marriage. “See, I believe if you had married a woman that called you ‘mi amor,’ you would learn Spanish,” she teased her husband. Mark, always the gentleman, responded with a laugh, saying, “They would have anything they wanted. I would learn anything.”
Kelly's Moment of Reflection
As the conversation continued, Kelly paused and reflected on her own marriage. In a candid moment, she admitted, “I know. I’m sorry. I feel like I failed you, but you know.” It was a heartfelt admission that resonated with many viewers who might be grappling with similar feelings in their own relationships.
But don’t worry—Kelly and Mark’s bond is stronger than ever. Their on-air banter, while sometimes playful or teasing, is a testament to their enduring love and respect for one another. It’s clear that they’ve built a solid foundation over the years, one that allows them to be open and honest with each other—even in front of millions of viewers.
Mark Consuelos: The Multilingual Mystery
Interestingly, Mark’s character Hiram Lodge on Riverdale often speaks Spanish in certain scenes. However, fans might be surprised to learn that Mark’s first language isn’t Spanish at all—it’s Italian. Born in Zaragoza, Spain, to an Italian mother and a Mexican father, Mark has a unique linguistic background that adds depth to his character both on and off-screen.
Back in a May 2018 interview with Recap Rewind, Mark confessed that his attempts to speak Spanish sometimes come out a little… quirky. “My first language is Italian, so when I do try to speak Spanish, it always comes out like a little wonky and a little like Euro,” he joked. It’s this kind of self-deprecating humor that makes Mark so endearing to fans.
Kelly's Plans for the Future
Despite their occasional playful spats on the show, Kelly and Mark have proven time and again that their love is unshakable. Recently, Kelly revealed her retirement plans during an episode of Live on January 11 after Mark gifted her bridge lessons for Christmas. “I’ve been dying to take up bridge,” Kelly told her audience. “Here’s my plan: we learn bridge; the next phase to learning bridge is you move to Palm Springs. That is the way it goes. That is the natural progression of your life.”

Kelly went on to explain that Palm Springs is a hub for bridge enthusiasts, and she hopes Mark is on board with the idea. “So I am halfway there because I have my bridge lessons, and you’re going to take them with me,” she said with a smile. “You will be obligated to move us to Palm Springs, where 90 percent of bridge players live.”
