Kelly Ripa Exposes Mark Consuelos' 'Cookie Jarring' Habit
20 Jun
Summary
- Kelly Ripa jokingly accused her husband, Mark Consuelos, of 'cookie jarring.'
- The couple discussed the dating trend of keeping multiple options open.
- Kelly recalled Mark's interest in obscure football club Campobasso FC.
On the June 16 episode of "Live with Kelly and Mark," Kelly Ripa lightheartedly accused her husband, Mark Consuelos, of exhibiting "cookie jarring" behavior. This dating trend involves maintaining multiple romantic prospects even after meeting someone new.
Consuelos explained "extended response times" as an indicator of cookie jarring, prompting Ripa to playfully question his own actions. She even admitted to texting him while nearby just to observe his response, which he dismissed as "ignoring." Ripa then humorously suggested it was "gaslight cookie jarring."
The conversation shifted to Consuelos' interests, with Ripa recalling an instance where he appeared engrossed in "very important information" about Campobasso FC, which she suspected was actually Instagram.
The couple, who have been together for 31 years, officially began co-hosting "Live" in 2023. Ripa has been with the show since 2001, with previous co-hosts including Regis Philbin, Michael Strahan, and Ryan Seacrest. Consuelos joined after Seacrest's departure, driven by Seacrest's need to manage travel and other projects.
Initially, both Ripa and Consuelos were hesitant about co-hosting. Consuelos reportedly refused the offer at first, and Ripa expressed concerns about a husband and wife hosting a morning show, differentiating it from acting or producing together. She believes their long-standing relationship and open communication style make them relatable to audiences.
