In an interview, Kelly Ripa reveals that if her topless photo that her husband took had gone viral in the ’90s, it would have been a major “ew” moment. The photo is tucked away somewhere inside their home and is something Ripa will always treasure.
In an episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan, Ripa shared her distaste for nude beaches. So naturally, some found it strange that Ripa showed gratitude for the sexy and intimate pics her husband, Mark Consuelos, took on their honeymoon.
To further explain why she cherishes such a photo so dearly, she shared a story on her Instagram, stating that it reminds her of a happy time in her life and her love for her husband.

Ripa and Consuelos met in 1995 when they co-starred in the popular soap opera “All My Children.” Since their initial meeting, the two had grown fond of each other, and their relationship developed.
To many people’s surprise, after just about one year of knowing each other, they decided to tie the knot in 1996 in Las Vegas. Since then, the couple has stayed strong, with their marriage in its 27th year as of 2023.
They share three children, now grown adults, Michael, Lola, and Joaquin. Ripa has always shared insights about her family life. In an episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan, she said that sending their youngest, Joaquin, to college was “brutally painful.”
It was so hard for the couple to let go of their children, stating, “It’s one of those things where you can never be ready.” That’s why when the couple can spend time with their children, they always make the best of it.
Many of you might wonder what Ripa and Consuelos’ secret to a long-lasting relationship is. Well, Ripa has shared the secret herself, and it isn’t just love.
She stated that having fights are inevitable in marriage. Couples will continuously have disagreements here and there, and that is totally normal. According to her, relationships and marriages are not sprints; but marathons.
