Overview
- Ripa and Consuelos, during Wednesday’s Live with Kelly and Mark, turned a koala study into banter about how her night retainer signals no sex, with him joking he hears a “click, click, click” and goes to bed.
- Consuelos framed the chat by noting research that male koalas “don’t mind rejection” and go back to sleep, then cracked that he arrives with a “eucalyptus leaf” before accepting a no.
- In a separate on-air exchange, Ripa said she got pregnant “at least twice” when she skipped underwear at night, sharing it during a studio debate over whether to sleep commando.
- The couple has said co‑hosting the show cut into morning intimacy, with Ripa favoring nights and Consuelos acknowledging the job has been an “antidote” to morning sex.
- Their candid bits fit a long-running pattern on the syndicated ABC show, where the married co-hosts trade light, personal stories that outlets echoed across April 1–3.
