Kelly Ripa has revealed her ideal next husband would be a billionaire suffering from “severe” erectile dysfunction. The 54-year-old TV host has been wed to her Live With Kelly and Mark co-presenter Mark Consuelos since 1996, yet she’s clearly pondered what might happen should their marriage ever end.<\/p>\n

During their daytime programme, she said: “If you and I were not together, my next husband – I almost said, ‘My next husband, may he rest in peace’ – will have to be one foot and one arm in the grave.”<\/p>\n

Kelly, who shares grown-up children Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22, with Mark cheekily admitted she’d be more focused on inheritance than romance.<\/p>\n

She jested: “He has to have severe ED [erectile dysfunction] and at least $6 billion in the bank.”<\/p>\n

Mark, also 54, playfully suggested that if he ever found himself single again, it would only be because Kelly had “passed away”. He remarked: “I would mourn the loss. I’m assuming you passed away, ’cause why would you ever leave?”.<\/p>\n

The happily-married pair also bantered about a hypothetical split earlier this year, when they speculated about how Mark would manage.<\/p>\n

Kelly observed: I know if you and I broke up, you would absolutely fall apart, completely. “Whilst not disputing this, her husband cheekily suggested he’d find a younger replacement.He quipped: “I do feel like someone would be there on the other end to pick me up and make sure I’m OK.<\/p>\n

“I’d have to get used to their college schedule and all that stuff. ” Kelly couldn’t help but chuckle at his jest, and she reassured their followers that their bond is unshakeable, even though they relish discussing hypothetical situations in their lives.She elaborated: “We have these conversations all the time.<\/p>\n

“I’m like, ‘What would happen if you found out that I faked my own death? And he’s like, ‘Well, my new wife and I would be very upset at first. ‘ It’s our favourite conversation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Live With Kelly and Mark host Kelly Ripa has joked that ‘severe ED’ and ‘\u00a36 billion’ are the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[265],"tags":[18,117,19,17,21485,128],"class_list":{"0":"post-26507","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-kelly-ripa","13":"tag-tv"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
