Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' Shocking Bathroom Secrets Exposed!

In a jaw-dropping revelation, TV power couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have left their fans reeling with their outrageous bathroom design choices. The married duo, who are known for their chemistry both on and off screen, recently shared the details of their eccentric taste in home decor on the set of their daytime talk show, Live with Kelly and Mark.

During a candid conversation, Ripa and Consuelos dished about their all-black bathroom, which has left many wondering if they've gone too far. But what's even more surprising is their choice of toilet paper – black! Yes, you read that right; the couple has stocked up on this unusual shade to "match" the interior design.

Ripa explained that someone had gifted them a package of black toilet paper as a joke, and to everyone's surprise, it actually looked normal. However, her husband Consuelos had a different opinion, insisting that it didn't feel right.

"I will say, it doesn't feel normal," Consuelos said, leaving many wondering if he was being serious or just playing along with his wife's antics.

But the best part? Ripa confessed that the bathroom in question is hardly ever used. "Nobody really uses that toilet," she quipped, before her husband interjected, "I have." When pressed for details, Ripa laughed and said, "Well, there you go. I have not used the black toilet tissue. I just like the way it looks. It blends into the wall."

Their discussion on bathroom design may have been humorous, but their playful banter was a clear indication of their strong relationship. The couple, who are celebrating nearly 30 years of marriage, also shared some fun facts about their individual dressing rooms on the set.

"Mark's idea," Ripa explained, "was to name our respective dressing rooms after legendary comedy duo Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz." Consuelos chimed in, saying, "Lucy and Desi. Desi is the guy's bathroom, Lucy is the girl's."

Their love for home decor is no secret, as they showcased their multimillion-dollar townhouse in New York City last year on Architectural Digest. Ripa gushed about their forever home, saying, "This is my favorite place on earth." The couple has lived in the stunning property for over 12 years and have three beautiful children – daughter Lola, 24, and sons Michael, 28, and Joaquin, 22.

Will they continue to surprise us with their bold design choices or will they stick to more conventional tastes? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – Kelly and Mark Consuelos are a force to be reckoned with.
