NextImg:Kelly Ripa Explains the “Tactic” She Used to Score Mark Consuelos on ‘Live’: “I’m Gonna Be Unbothered”

Need help snagging a man? Kelly Ripa revealed what tactics she used to score Mark Consuelos, her husband of nearly three decades, on this morning’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark.

The conversation began during a morning chat about the one act that’s allegedly “worse than getting ghosted:” getting “zombied.”

According to Consuelos, someone gets zombied when they’ve gone on a date, gotten “officially ghosted” and then the person comes back a month later and acts as though nothing happened.

“You know that’s a tactic I used to get you,” Ripa quipped, to which Consuelos replied, “That’s true. And the phone call or the connection would always come around 3 a.m. ‘So what’s on your mind?’ I’d say. And she’d say, ‘Let me come over and we’ll talk.’”

When Ripa denied ever being the instigator of a late-night romp, Consuelos fired back that her so-called “tactic” to get him was also false. However, the longtime host insisted that she could see the hunky actor coming from “a mile away.”

“I was like, ‘This is a guy that is used to women being available to him all the time. Whenever he wants. Whatever he wants.’ So I’m gonna be unbothered,” she explained. “So when he calls me, maybe I’ll call him back. Maybe I’ll wait a few days. Maybe I’ll wait a week. Maybe I’ll wait a month.”

The Riverdale alum then chimed in, “She does that now! We’re in our 28th year of marriage, technically speaking.”

This isn’t the first time Ripa has brought up her husband’s player days. In a similar conversation on a May episode of Live, the host — who tied the knot with Consuelos in Las Vegas back in 1996 — joked that his longest relationship before her had lasted only “four months.”

“I wasn’t good at relationships,” Consuelos admitted, before later adding, “I had some, like, maybe year — I don’t think I’ve had more than a year and a half. That was like my longest relationship. You know? Like a nice sweater.”
