Kelly Ripa Dishes on Why She Finds Husband Mark Consuelos' Preference for Morning Sex to Be 'Disgusting'
The Live with Kelly and Mark host joked that she and her husband of 26 years are both the 'most repulsive" people in the mornings
Ripa also revealed how their sex schedule has changed since Consuelos became the co-host of their morning showKelly Ripa is spilling the tea about her husband Mark Consuelos' bedroom preferences.
On the latest episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, the Live with Kelly and Mark host, 54, revealed that she and Consuelos, also 54, don't always see eye to eye about when to have sex.
'I don't know about you in your marriage, but I'm going to go personal. Are you an evening person or a morning person?' Ripa asked host Amanda Hirsch.
'Definitely not morning,' she replied. 'Do not breathe on me in the morning.'
However, the television personality noted, 'Men are morning people.'
'He'll never learn,' she jokingly added. 'He's a guy.'
However, Consuelos has had to change his ways after taking over as co-host on Live with Kelly and Mark in April 2023.
'I said to him, 'Here's the thing,'' she explained. ''There needs to be a yin and a yang here. It can't always be your way. 'Cause it feels like 90 percent of the time it's your way. And now that we work together every day, it's gonna have to sometimes be my way, and my way's at night only.''
'I have a retainer in. I gotta rip that out,' she admitted. 'And he's got his nasal strips on. It's like we are the most repulsive, disgusting [people].'
While explaining that men 'don't care' about things, she added the "d--- has a brain of its own' before joking, 'I'm already pre-disgusted for tomorrow morning.'
While Ripa revealed the pair don't have sex every morning, she said there has been an unexpected benefit to working with her husband.
'The greatest thing about this job, this thing has like, almost repulsed him from morning time during the work week,' she teased. 'Which is like a miracle.'
'May this show last until he suffers from erectile dysfunction,' she jokingly added. 'He's in his mid-50s now. Shouldn't that be happening now? I was promised!'
'We found each other at the right time in our lives, we were really young,' said Ripa during an interview on SiriusXM Radio Andy show Quarantined with Bruce in 2020. 'We learned each other well. And with that comes a certain level of comfort and confidence and experimentation. We have fun. We enjoy [each other].'
'You check off all the boxes for me,' added Consuelos.

Ripa met Conseulos in 1994 at his screen test for All My Children. At the time, Ripa was playing Hayley Vaughan on the ABC soap opera. Conseulos was auditioning for Mateo Santos, Haley's love interest.
They later tied the knot in 1996 and have since welcomed three children: Joaquin, 22, Lola, 24, and Michael, 28.

This beloved retro gaming computer is making a comeback—and it'll cost you $299
Tech nostalgia runs strong among Gen Z. The retro movement has made long-outdated devices desirable once more. When it comes to personal computer nostalgia, you'd be hard-pressed to find a PC more fondly remembered than the Commodore 64. Now, the machine that served as the starter computer for many old-school gamers is making a comeback of sorts. Commodore Corp., which is no longer run by the team behind the original device, has begun taking preorders for the Commodore 64 Ultimate, a $299 device that its makers claim is compatible with over 10,000 retro games, cartridges, and peripherals. The new C64s are expected to begin shipping as early as October, though that date could slip. Also, the listed price doesn't account for tariffs. A 'tariff tax' ($15 to $25 in the U.S.) is added at checkout—and the builders warn that amount could change if tariffs do. While there have been Commodore 64 emulators in the past, this marks the first official product from the company in more than 30 years. There are three models to choose from, all with the same internal components. If you were expecting a vastly outdated machine, however, you're in for a surprise. The Commodore 64 Ultimate will include 128 megabytes of RAM and 16 megabytes of flash memory. It connects to modern monitors via HDMI in high-definition 1080p resolution and features three USB-A ports and one USB-C port. Beyond the computer itself, the power source, and HDMI cable, your $299 also gets you a spiral-bound user guide, a 64-gigabyte USB drive featuring over 50 licensed games, a quick-start guide, and stickers. Aesthetically, the Commodore 64 Ultimate is available in the original beige or in premium variants: the Starlight Edition, with a clear case and LED lights ($249), or the Founder's Edition, which includes 24-karat gold-plated badges, satin gold keys, and a translucent amber case ($499). Just 6,400 units of the Founder's Edition will be produced, according to the company. The preorder setup resembles a Kickstarter campaign, though it doesn't use that platform. Commodore says all preorders come with a money-back guarantee, but it chose to skip the service's fees. Buyers should be aware that accounts are charged at the time of preorder. Who owns Commodore? Ownership of the Commodore brand adds some complexity. Earlier this year, Christian 'Peri Fractic' Simpson—a YouTuber focused on retro tech—announced he was in the process of acquiring the company and claimed to be the 'acting CEO of Commodore.' In a YouTube video posted at the end of June, he said he purchased the company for 'a low seven-figure sum' and has recruited several former Commodore employees to help relaunch the brand. In the video, Simpson states he signed 'a share purchase agreement' with the previous owners of Commodore Corp., but is still seeking angel investors to help close the total sales amount. That uncertainty may give some potential buyers pause, and understandably so. The official site addresses the concern, noting: 'We have a contract with the previous IP owner that ensures that regardless of the final acquisition outcome, these machines can be manufactured as promised.' The product will come with a one-year limited warranty, and Commodore says most parts are already in production, including the updated motherboard, the case, and the keycaps that recreate the blocky keys that early users remember. The original Commodore 64 debuted in 1982. It was one of the world's best-selling computers at the time, with graphics and sound that pushed the limits of 8-bit technology. With games like M.U.L.E., Wizard, and The Last Ninja, it quickly became a gamer favorite. In addition to the games on the USB drive, backers will also receive a 'new sequel' to the C64 original, called Jupiter Lander: Ascension. The super-early-rate deadline for Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies Awards is Friday, July 25, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

The Many Takes on Superman: Gruff, Charming or Menschy?
Kal-El, Man of Steel, Last Son of Krypton: Superman has many names, and also many faces when it comes to live-action takes on the hero. With the release of 'Superman,' David Corenswet joins the society of actors who have played arguably the most famous of all superheroes. But Superman, more so than a lot of his superpowered peers, often serves more as a symbol than a fully drawn character. Below is a rundown of some of the most prominent depictions of Superman in the last few decades and what these actors brought to their embodiments of the Man of Tomorrow. Superman I-IV (1978-87) The Archetype Christopher Reeve set the standard for a live-action Superman, creating a pop culture phenomenon on the big screen. Now the trend for those taking on the role is to find new angles on the hero, to modernize or subvert the character. Much of that can be attributed to Reeve's portrayal, which was that of a quintessential comic book savior. His Superman is confident, upstanding and authoritative, and between his powers and his unimpeachable sense of justice, he's downright unstoppable — as when he reverses the Earth's rotation to go back in time to save a life. Whether he's posed with his arms crossed in judgment of a foe or standing fists on waist and arms akimbo at the end of a battle, there's a machismo power in his bearing. And his disarming smile and self-assured voice, which occasionally offers calm but firm scoldings to wrongdoers, paint him as a hero of the people. These early Superman movies were less about developing the character and more about reinforcing fans' love for the original figure.
