Kelly Ripa is ready for Mark Consuelos to develop a "dad bod".

The 53-year-old TV star - who has Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 21, with Mark - has revealed that she's expecting her husband's body to change in the coming years.

During the latest episode of 'Live with Kelly and Mark', she said: "I keep waiting for you to come into your dad bod.

"When are you going to develop your dad bod, do you think?"

Mark, 53, then rubbished the idea that he'll simply allow himself to put on weight.

However, the TV star acknowledged that change is inevitable.

The talk-show host explained: "I don’t plan on it. I don’t plan on it. I plan on trying to stave it off.

"But it’s natural. They said that nature helped make it happen."

Meanwhile, Kelly previously admitted that she started attending therapy sessions after she turned 40.

The veteran TV star turned to a therapist after celebrating her landmark birthday, having previously shied away from the idea.

Kelly said on the 'Let’s Talk Off Camera' podcast: "I went into therapy when I turned 40.

"I bumped into a girlfriend of mine at a Bar Mitzvah and she said, ‘How are you?’ and I started sobbing, and I wasn’t entirely sure why.

"She said, 'I’m going to write down the name of my therapist.'"

Kelly has actually developed a better understanding of herself through her therapy sessions.

Kelly - who has previously hosted 'Live' alongside the likes of Regis Philbin, Michael Strahan and Ryan Seacrest - said: "I really got to know myself. I really got to understand why I had such trouble embracing success of any kind."
