Kelly Ripa has revealed her husband's 'disgusting' sexual preference and explained why it isn't her cup of tea.
Ripa has been married to Mark Consuelos since 1996 and the two actors have gone on to become daytime TV's 'it' couple.
The couple met on the set of All My Children and since tying the knot have welcomed three kids together: 28-year-old Michael (who was named as one of the 'sexiest men alive' in 2022), Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22.
The pair have since turned their attention to daytime TV and host Live with Kelly & Mark on weekdays on ABC.

Ripa previously hosted the show with Michael Strahan and Ryan Seacrest at different stages, with hubby Consuelos joining her to host in 2023 when Seacrest stepped down.
While their relationship had always been in the spotlight, their hosting duties together has arguably put it even more so; and Ripa isn't shy when it come to sharing details about their romance.
She recently featured on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast and revealed her partner's sexual preference that she labels 'disgusting'.

The habit? Morning sex.

"I find it disgusting," Ripa told host Amanda Hirsch. It seems Conseulos only wants to do it at that time, too.
When her husband joined her ABC hosting duties, Ripa decided to take morning sex off the table.
She recalled: "I said to him, 'Here’s the thing. There needs to be a yin and a yang here. It can’t always be your way. It feels like 90 percent of the time it’s your way, and now that we work together every day, it’s gonna have to sometimes be my way. And my way’s at night only.'"
Good for you, girl.
As to why she doesn't like morning sex, Ripa admitted that - like many of us - the morning isn't exactly when she looks or feels her sexiest.

"I have a retainer in, I gotta rip that out," she explained. "And he’s got his nasal strips on. It’s like we are the most repulsive, disgusting [people]. I’m already pre-disgusted for tomorrow morning."
But Conseulos appears to have changed his tune about morning sex in recent years in light of his and Ripa's very early mornings at work.
"The greatest thing about this job, this thing has almost repulsed him from morning time during the work week, which is like a miracle," Ripa joked.
