and Mark Consuelos ' home has become a clothing-optional space ever since their children moved out.
The parents of three revealed their life has become a 'freak show' following the departure of their youngest child as they offered words of comfort to actress Amanda Peet, whose eldest is now moving out for school.
While Amanda, 53, began getting emotional at the thought of her child leaving, Kelly, 54, and Mark, 54, assured her there is a NSFW light at the end of the tunnel.
'The first one is like a bit of a shock,' Kelly explained on Monday's episode of Live with Kelly and Mark. 'Each one, the second one it's like no big deal, third one for 24 to 48 hours, you're gonna be like, "Oh my gosh, what have we done? Now it's just us." And then your entire life becomes nudity in the household wherever you want them.'
'It's a freak show,' Mark said. 'Total freak show', Kelly concurred.

Kelly and Mark have three children together and their youngest, Joaquin Consuelos, 22, graduated from the University of Michigan this year.
The couple also have son Michael Consuelos, 27, who graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in 2020, and daughter Lola Consuelos, 23, who is also a NYU graduate.
Kelly and Mark previously revealed how difficult the adjustment was.
'We became empty nesters. We took our youngest son to college, we dropped him off,' Kelly said on a 2021 episode of her talk show. 'It was hard. It was really hard.'
In a joint 2023 interview with People, Mark compared the feeling to 'a loss.'
'It was deep,' he said. 'It was like a loss.'
'When Joaquin left [for the University of Michigan], it was hard, the two of us and the dogs staring at each other, like "Well, now what?"' Kelly said.
'The first dinner I cooked, I'm not kidding, was for 12 people, and it was just the two of us. We sat there with this inordinate amount of food, neither one of us hungry at all,' she said.
Kelly initially worried they wouldn't have enough to talk about.
The couple dished on their newfound preference for nudity on Monday's episode of Live with Kelly and Mark
'We're empty nesters, oh no, what are we going to discuss?!' Kelly said of her initial thoughts.
But the pain quickly faded: 'The first 48 hours we were leaning into the despair and then we really leaned into the positive side,' she added. 'We got over it!'

In September 2022, Kelly confessed on Watch What Happens Live that she and Mark have been intimate with each other in Andy Cohen's Fire Island rental home.
'That was a day trip!' Andy said in shock at the revelation. 'It was a rental!' Kelly insisted.
'I figured I wasn't desecrating anything that you own,' she added, leaving viewers jaw-dropped.
In addition to Cohen's rental, Kelly admitted she and her beau had also had sex on boat, in a public bathroom and even on the set of All My Children.
In 2020, the TV personality previously told Cohen that she had Mark had such a healthy sex life because they 'found each other at the right time in our lives.'
She added that both her and Mark believe that 'experimentation is fun.'

250 million bees on the loose in Washington state after truck rolls over
An estimated 250 million bees are on the loose in the US state of Washington after a lorry carrying beehives rolled over on Friday. Authorities reported that a commercial lorry carrying 70,000 pounds of pollinator beehives overturned in the town of Lynden, five miles south of the border with Canada, allowing 250 million bees to make their escape. '250 million bees are now loose,' the Whatcom county sheriff's department posted on social media. 'AVOID THE AREA due to the potential of bee escape and swarming.' More than two dozen beekeepers assisted emergency responders – some of whom were stung – with recapturing the bees, a spokesman for the sheriff's department told local media. The swarm of bees was so dense, it was 'like a cloud', Derek Condit, one of the beekeepers, told local media. 'It was pretty chaotic.' Some of the beekeepers were reportedly stung over a dozen times and were using tape to plug holes in their suits. 'I've never had that many bees – angry bees – at one time,' said Russell Deptuch, another local beekeeper, in an interview with local media. The lorry was on its way to the US state of South Dakota when it rolled over early on Friday morning. However, it was a botched rescue mission several hours later which ultimately caused the mass flight as a tow truck attempted to pull the vehicle out of a ditch, causing the hives to fall off. 'Unfortunately, that didn't happen as smoothly as was hoped, and some of the beehives broke open, which caused all the bees to swarm, which is how we're in the situation we're in now,' said Matt Klein, the deputy director of the division of emergency management for the sheriff's department, in a statement. The aim of the recovery operation is to save as many bees as possible and allow them to re-hive and find their queen, which the sheriff's department estimated would take one or two days. Although there is a large number of bees needing to be recaptured, the insects are social and drawn to their hives, meaning they are likely to stay near the truck. 'That's where their queen and the next generation of bees (the 'brood') are located,' Gene Robinson, a professor of entomology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, told The New York Times. Each hive tends to contain between 40,000 and 60,000 bees, Mr Robinson said. As of Friday afternoon, the beekeepers and emergency responders had restored most of the hives, and the majority of the insects are expected to return by Saturday morning, the sheriff's department said. Until then, the road has been closed and the public advised to stay at least 200 yards from the area.

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast banned from discussing politics amid wild pro-Trump accusations
The cast of Hulu's hit series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives have reportedly been banned from discussing their political views. The show, which follows a group of Mormon momfluencers from the notoriously conservative Utah, have often been accused by viewers of supporting Donald Trump. Cast member Mayci Neeley broke her silence on the group's politics this week on TikTok after a follower commented, 'If only you weren't a Trump supporter.' Firing back, the 30-year-old wrote, 'These assumptions are wild. Contractually we aren't allowed to talk about our political views.' She continued, 'So I'm sick of seeing these comments on every post even though no one knows my views. They assume since I'm Mormon that I am super conservative and that's not the case.' This isn't the first time that the Mormon Wives cast have been pegged as Trump supporters. There are countless threads on Reddit speculating about the group's political leanings, with some fans even finding out which political figures the cast follow on social media. While the cast refuse to comment on their personal political views, Utah is one of the most conservatives states in America. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a significant influence on the state's culture and politics. Around 60 percent of Utah residents are members of the LDS Church, which traditionally supports conservative values. The second season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has been a blockbuster hit so far. In its first five days, the series amassed over five million on Hulu and Disney+. Season two saw the addition of TikTok influencer Miranda McWhorter, 26, who is an original member of MomTok and was once best friends with Taylor Frankie Paul. Unsurprisingly, she was also implicated in Taylor's swinging scandal. Season one of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives revolved around MomTok, a group of glamorous Mormon influencers led by Taylor who were plunged into a sex scandal when Taylor outed herself as a swinger. Last year, The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives was ranked the number one unscripted show on Hulu, becoming the streamer's biggest premiere since The Kardashians. The 30-year-old wrote, 'These assumptions are wild. Contractually we aren't allowed to talk about our political views' Sparks flew between the members of the principal cast, which was made up of Taylor, Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann, Whitney Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor. The show caused a stir both online and in the LDS church thanks to the outrageous antics of the cast. Some of the wild scenes on the show have included a sex act involving breakfast cereal, a swinging scandal, a drunken arrest, and a trip to a male strip revue in Vegas. One cast member also revealed the results of her labiaplasty on camera, while another confessed to getting pregnant to her now-husband when she was just 16 and he was 21. The series is produced by the team behind Netflix's My Unorthodox Life, which followed designer Julia Haart after leaving her strict orthodox Jewish community behind to become a hotshot in the fashion world.
