Less Together, More Together: The Surprising Shift in Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ Relationship

After nearly three decades of marriage, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are discovering that spending time together isn’t as easy as it used to be—at least not now that they’re cohosting Live With Kelly and Mark. Since Consuelos joined the show in 2023, their relationship has taken a curious turn; they work together in the morning but often head their separate ways afterward, only to reconnect for dinner. As Consuelos hilariously put it, they now see even less of each other, which might just be the ultimate plot twist for a dynamic duo that was once inseparable.

Ripa and Consuelos first met as co-stars on All My Children in 1995 and have navigated the ups and downs of life, raising three kids along the way. The couple shared some heartwarming insights about their relationship, emphasizing trust and individuality. Ripa’s take on setting boundaries is particularly relatable; she joked that tracking your partner’s every move isn’t necessary. Isn’t it refreshing to see a couple that values their personal space while still having fun?

They revel in their long shared history, even poking fun at how their kids have started to see them as a walk through the history books. As their kids watch documentaries and ask if they were around for that event, you can just imagine the eye rolls and laughter. So, what do you think? Can relationships thrive amidst busyness, or do couples need quality time to make it work?
