Kelly Ripa's 'chastity belt' for Mark Consuelos
Kelly Ripa has joked putting her retainer in when she is in bed is like a "chastity belt" to stop evening sex with her husband and Live with Kelly and Mark co-star Mark Consuelos.
Kelly Ripa has joked she has her own "chastity belt" to stop evening sex with her husband Mark Consuelos.
The 55-year-old talk show host simply has to pop in her retainer and Mark, 55, knows there is no way he is going to have some bedtime fun that evening.
During a conversation about the mating habits of koalas on their Live with Kelly and Mark talk show, he said: "When they’re mating, the koala goes in there and says, ‘Hey, I’m Mr. Koala, nice to meet you, Ms. Koala.’
"Sometimes they’re not interested.
"Instead of being heartbroken, they go back to sleep."
Kelly quipped that it reminded her of Mark, and she pretended to roll over and put her retainer in.
She then joked: "He hears the retainer pop in, it’s like a chastity belt."
Mark added: "When you put it in, it’s like, click, click, click.
"Alright, guess I’m going to bed."
He also quipped: "I come to bed with my little eucalyptus leaf, and I’m like, 'Hey, you want to fool around? No? Okay.' "
The pair have previously discussed morning sex on their talk show, with Kelly admitting she is not a fan.
Mark recently joked working together on their show has been an "antidote" for getting jiggy with it first thing.
He said: "I've got to tell you, this job has really gotten in the way of that."
Kelly previously told how she only likes to have sex in the evenings, because the pair are "repulsive" in the mornings.
Speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast last July, she explained: "I said to him, ‘Here’s the thing. There needs to be a yin and a yang here. It can’t always be your way. It feels like 90 per cent of the time it’s your way, and now that we work together every day, it’s gonna have to sometimes be my way. And my way’s at night only.'
"I have a retainer in, I gotta rip that out.
"And he’s got his nasal strips on. It’s like we are the most repulsive, disgusting [people].
"I’m already pre-disgusted for tomorrow morning."
