The longtime couple, known for their playful banter and deep connection, opened up about an amusing—and somewhat awkward—situation that occurred when Mark returned from a trip to China.
Kelly revealed that after Mark brought back a “surprise” from his travels, she was so put off by the gift that she resorted to pretending to be dead to avoid intimacy with him.
Yes, you read that right—Kelly faked her own demise as a way to escape the awkward situation!
According to Kelly, Mark had picked up a rather unexpected and “unusual” souvenir while in China, and upon his return, he was eager to share it with her.
However, the moment he revealed what he had brought home, Kelly’s reaction was anything but enthusiastic.
The mystery item—though left somewhat vague by the couple—seemed to have been something that made Kelly feel completely uncomfortable, and in her own words, it was enough to send her into full-on “avoidance mode.” Her solution? Pretending to be “dead” to avoid any further attention.
Mark, of course, was quick to laugh off Kelly’s dramatic reaction, but it’s clear that the couple’s chemistry and sense of humor allowed them to look back on the situation with lightheartedness.
Kelly’s confession, which was shared with a wink and a laugh, sparked plenty of amused reactions from viewers, especially as she jokingly described her desperate attempt to avoid the “unwanted” situation.
While Kelly didn’t go into full detail about the mysterious item Mark brought back from China, the entire story highlights the humorous side of their relationship—proving that, after so many years together, even the most awkward situations can lead to laughter. Fans were left both amused and curious, eagerly speculating about what exactly could have been so off-putting that it led Kelly to take such extreme (and hilarious) measures.
Ultimately, this playful confession is a perfect example of Kelly and Mark’s unbreakable bond, their ability to laugh together, and their willingness to share funny, unexpected moments with their audience.
