Kelly Ripa’s ‘Airport Divorce’ Joke Annoys Mark Consuelos
On the recent episode of El-Balad’s “Live with Kelly and Mark,” hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos engaged in a light-hearted debate about their travel habits. The discussion resurfaced a concept Ripa humorously termed as “airport divorce.”
Kelly Ripa’s ‘Airport Divorce’ Joke
During the show aired on October 22, Ripa, aged 55, highlighted their differing travel philosophies. She mentioned, “You need to get there between four to 16 hours before a flight takes off.” In contrast, Consuelos, 54, preferred arriving only an hour and a half before flight time.
Traveling Philosophies
Ripa claimed she has never missed a flight and said Consuelos often gets “irritated” by fans. When he countered her statement, she retracted, suggesting he was “irked” by her instead. Consuelos responded, “I’m irritated with you right now for trying to throw me under the bus.”
Discussion with Allison Williams
Later in the episode, actress Allison Williams joined the couple to discuss her new film “Regretting You.” The earlier debate was revisited as Consuelos inquired about her husband, Alexander Dreymon, and how he manages airport logistics.
- Williams remarked that her husband is crucial for her timely arrivals.
- In a light-hearted manner, Ripa suggested, “You guys need an airport marriage.”
Recurring Theme of Divorce
This playful exchange isn’t the first mention of separation on the show. Back in January, Ripa had mentioned hypothetical divorce, suggesting they would end up back together regardless. Consuelos affirmed, “Oh, definitely,” referencing their nearly 30 years of marriage.
As the couple continues to entertain fans with their candid conversations, their playful banter reminds viewers that even after many years together, differences can lead to humor.
