Kelly Ripa's Shocking Divorce Revelation: 'Dating? Not in My Future!'

The Marriage of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos: A Love Story for the Ages

In a shocking revelation, Kelly Ripa has dropped a bombshell on her husband and co-host Mark Consuelos that will leave fans wondering if their marriage is stronger than ever or on the brink of collapse. During Tuesday's episode of their hit daytime show, Live! with Kelly and Mark, Kelly confessed to her husband that if they were to get divorced, she would have no interest in dating again.

The bombshell was dropped when Kelly, 54, jokingly revealed that she has "had three kids" and therefore wouldn't need to explain anything to anyone. However, her tongue-in-cheek comment was quickly followed by a more serious revelation about what would happen if she were to get divorced. According to Kelly, "dating is out of the question." Ouch!

But that's not all - Kelly took it a step further and revealed that she would never want to have sex again after a divorce. The blonde bombshell joked that her husband would need to turn off all the lights in their bedroom before any intimate moments could occur. "I'm like: 'No, no, no. Light out. You can wait until dark. Also, turn off that light, and also turn off your cell phone light. I want it pitch-black in here. And no unexpected touching!'" Kelly exclaimed.

Mark Consuelos, 54, laughed along with his wife's antics but revealed earlier this year that he wouldn't fare as well if they were to get divorced. In a shocking admission, Mark confessed to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that he would "absolutely fall apart" if the couple split up.

But Kelly isn't having it - she shot back at her husband, saying "Oh my God. Oh, dear God, I hope I live to see your second wife!" Ouch! The two have been together for over 25 years and married since 1996 when they eloped in Las Vegas.

The couple's whirlwind romance began on the set of All My Children, where they met in 1994. Mark auditioned for the soap opera, which already featured Kelly in its principal cast. Their coworkers had no idea that the two were secretly dating until Wendy Williams broke the news on her radio show three months after their May Day wedding.

The couple's careers took them in separate directions over the years, with Kelly becoming one of the biggest morning hosts in America and Mark acting on hit series like Riverdale. Despite their busy schedules, they remain as devoted to each other as ever - or so it seems.

So what does this mean for the power couple? Will they continue to make us laugh and swoon with their adorable banter and chemistry on Live! with Kelly and Mark? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure - we're hooked on the drama, romance, and juiciness that comes with being part of this marriage.
