Love was in the air on Live with Kelly and Mark on Thursday!
In honor of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos‘ 29th wedding anniversary, the co-host couple danced onto their morning stage to Stevie Wonder‘s “I’ll Be Loving You Always,” which they said was their song.
After wishing each other a happy anniversary, Ripa claimed that it is “wild” that they have been together for so long, while Consuelos agreed it is “insane.”
“That’s like going to first grade, to high school twice, and then taking college and getting a one-year masters,” he deduced.
Ripa quipped, “If you say so. I don’t know how to do that kind of math. I don’t know how to math in my head like that.”
Consuelos explained, “Because as a kid, from first grade until you graduate high school seems like a lifetime.”
While Ripa echoed her husband’s reasoning, noting that “it is a lifetime,” as Consuelos said that they’ve “done that twice.”
As for “what kind of masters” they’ve earned as a married couple, Consuelos proposed “psychology.”
Ripa teased, “We have our PhD in psychology, for sure.”
After congratulating each other on the milestone, Ripa added, “We did it, and we still have things to talk about. Every day. Yes, we do.”
Consuelos replied, “I like those conversations.”
The moment hit a more sentimental note as Ripa and Consuelos each called the other their “best friend,” as Ripa gushed that she is “so glad” that they tied the knot.
“If we didn’t find each other… who else would we be married to?” she asked. “Oh my gosh, what a mess.”
Consuelos joked, “A list. I’d probably be on marriage… no, I wouldn’t do that more than once. I couldn’t do it more than once.”
However, that answer wasn’t sufficient for Ripa, who jokes that this is her “favorite game to play.”
“Let’s say you didn’t marry me,” she continued.
Consuelos claimed, “I’d probably be single.”
Ripa replied, “You think?”
Consuelos said, “Yes.”
Still uncertain, Ripa reiterated, “All this time?”
After Consuelos once again told Ripa “yes,” she called BS on him.
“Lies,” she quipped. “Lies. The absolute lies that you are witnessing here on our wedding anniversary.”
