Let me set the scene for you: It was Thursday, December 28, and Mark Consuelos decided to drop a bombshell during an episode of Live With Kelly and Mark. Now, this wasn’t just any confession—this was a big one. The handsome actor, who celebrated 27 years of marriage with his wife, Kelly Ripa, admitted on national television that he'd like to try Viagra. Can you imagine the reaction from the audience and the producers? It was pure gold!
Let’s rewind a little. The couple was chatting casually about the constant stream of ads that seem to follow us everywhere online. You know the ones—those erectile dysfunction commercials that pop up when you least expect them. And that’s when Mark, 52, decided to share his thoughts on the matter. He wasn’t shy about it, either. In fact, he was downright candid.
“I want to take that one medication where the guy is throwing the football through the thing,” Mark said with a straight face. Cue laughter from the studio audience and producer Michael Gelman. Kelly, 53, couldn’t believe her ears. “That’s Viagra,” she quickly chimed in, trying to keep a straight face herself.

But here’s the kicker—Kelly didn’t stop there. She went on to analyze the commercials in her signature no-nonsense style. “Those erectile dysfunction medication commercials are so confusing because one is a man throwing a football through a tire and you’re like, ‘Ok, subtle,’ but then the other medication, and I don’t know which one it is, but it’s a man and a woman in separate bathtubs,” she described. “What does that mean? Does that mean it doesn’t work?”
Mark, ever the quick-witted husband, quipped, “No, but they’re holding hands,” to which Kelly replied, “They’re holding hands; that’s not what’s broken. They’re in separate tubs. You might want to think about that, guys. Do I have to work for ad agencies too?” Her delivery was flawless, and the audience erupted in laughter once again.
Mark’s Suggestions for Big Pharma
Now, here’s where things get even more interesting. The Riverdale actor asked his wife what advice she would give to big pharma companies when it comes to promoting these medications. “Maybe they should put them in the same tub,” Kelly exclaimed, referencing the commercials she’d been critiquing earlier. It was classic Kelly Ripa—sharp, funny, and spot-on.
A Controversial Holiday Photo
Before this episode aired, fans of the couple were already buzzing over a holiday photo Mark and Kelly shared on Christmas. In the picture, Kelly appeared sans pants, which sparked quite the debate on social media. Some criticized her for “wearing underwear,” while others defended her, pointing out that it looked like she was wearing a bathing suit and standing in front of a cabana. Kelly, known for her playful and steamy photos with Mark, didn’t let the criticism phase her. She’s always been one to keep things light and fun, even when the spotlight is on her personal life.
Award-Winning Couple Shares a Steamy Side
For years, Kelly and Mark have been open about their relationship, often sharing personal stories and moments with their audience. In fact, the couple, who tied the knot in 1996, once revealed a hilarious incident involving their daughter, Lola Consuelos. Apparently, Lola walked in on them twice while they were getting intimate. “I encouraged him to lock … [the] door, and he tells me he did,” Kelly shared on her podcast, “Let’s Talk Off Camera.” “All I know is, at a certain point, I made eye contact with my 8-year-old daughter who is standing at the foot of the bed.”
And if you think that was the last time it happened, think again. “The same thing happened eight years later on her 16th birthday,” Kelly revealed. “Same exact thing. She threw the door open.” It’s moments like these that remind us how real and relatable this power couple truly is.
