Mark Consuelos<\/a> and Kelly Ripa<\/a> are answering questions about their sex life.<\/p>\n Eight months after the morning talk show hosts revealed that they don\u2019t always see eye to eye when it comes to morning sex, Scrubs actress Christa Miller<\/a> insisted that they revisit the topic during her Tuesday, March 3 appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I have something to say,\u201d the Shrinking<\/a> star, 61, said as she sat down across from the couple. \u201cI watch this show, I’m a fan. And, Mark, I’m going to say this with love. There’s no morning sex. No one likes it. And not even on the weekends.”<\/p>\n In response, Consuelos, 54, said that his preference for morning sex has been hindered by his and Ripa\u2019s unconventional work schedules.<\/p>\n Kelly Ripa (left) and Mark Consuelos on ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’ “I’ve got to tell you, this job has really gotten in the way of that,\u201d he admitted. \u201cIt’s been the antidote for it.”<\/p>\n Even so, Miller went on to say that women \u201cdon\u2019t fall for the, ‘I just want to cuddle you’ in the morning,” before admitting that she\u2019s been \u201chaving the same problem\u201d with her husband Bill Lawrence<\/a>.<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for<\/strong> PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/strong><\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n “My window is in the afternoon, it’s a short window,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd also, Bill has to be home and also not bugging me. There are a lot of steps. A lot of hurdles.”<\/p>\n To put an end to the \u201cmorning sex\u201d debate once and for all, Ripa, 55, looked directly into the camera and declared, \u201cBill, for the love of God, on behalf of all of us here in the studio audience, there is absolutely no morning sex.”<\/p>\n As for where the debate first started<\/a>? During a July 2025 episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat<\/a> podcast, Ripa claimed that her husband of 29 years wanted to have sex \u201conly in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI said to him, \u2018Here\u2019s the thing,’ \u201d she explained at the time. \u201c \u2018There needs to be a yin and a yang here. It can\u2019t always be your way. \u2018Cause it feels like 90 percent of the time it\u2019s your way. And now that we work together every day, it\u2019s gonna have to sometimes be my way, and my way\u2019s at night only.’ \u201d<\/p>\n After all, Ripa found them to be \u201cthe most repulsive, disgusting [people]\u201d in the morning after she finishes ripping out her retainer and he peels off his nasal strips.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m already pre-disgusted for tomorrow morning,\u201d she added with a laugh. \u201cThe greatest thing about this job, this thing has like, almost repulsed him from morning time during the work week, which is like a miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMay this show last until he suffers from erectile dysfunction,\u201d she concluded. \u201cHe\u2019s in his mid-50s now. Shouldn\u2019t that be happening now? I was promised!\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Kelly](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/70f4c515c30a87cf031d3432e787d64f.jpeg\"\/)
