Mark Consuelos Would Stay in Loveless Marriage for Dog

Mark Consuelos shared a startling confession about his devotion to the couple's dog, Lena. He stated he would remain in a loveless marriage solely to ensure daily contact with Lena, emphasizing the depth of his love for the pet. This discussion arose as the hosts considered Pennsylvania's proposed legislation aimed at establishing shared schedules and cost divisions for pets in divorces.

Ripa playfully responded to Consuelos's remark, and the pair noted the bill's intent to handle pet custody matters akin to child custody cases. Consuelos further elaborated that divorce would lead him to constantly wonder about Lena's well-being and if another man was with her. The Maltese-Shih Tzu mix, Lena, was adopted in March 2021 after being featured on the show.

In related news, Kelly Ripa recently made her return to daytime television after a two-week absence. Her absence was due to undergoing gum graft surgery. While recent episodes aired on August 10th featured pre-taped segments from before the show's summer hiatus, her first live appearance post-surgery is anticipated on September 8th.
