Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos recently opened up about a quirky and rather unexpected hobby they enjoy doing together at home, much to the horror of their children.
In typical Ripa-Consuelos fashion, the couple shared the story with humor, revealing how their unique pastime has left their kids absolutely terrified every time they engage in it.
During a light-hearted conversation, Kelly and Mark explained that they have developed a strange yet amusing hobby over the years, one that catches their children completely off guard.
“Yeah, every time we do it, they scream and run away,” Kelly laughed, recalling her kids’ reactions. While the couple has a strong, loving family dynamic, it seems this particular activity—while fun for them—has become a source of mild panic for their children.
Kelly further elaborated on the fact that, despite their kids’ initial fear, she and Mark continue to enjoy their strange hobby.
“It’s one of those things that Mark and I do when we have the house to ourselves. The kids think we’re weird for it, but we love it!” she added with a grin.
While Kelly and Mark didn’t initially give away the exact details of their hobby, the story took a comedic turn when Kelly described how their children’s reactions have become part of the fun.
“They just scream and run away, and then…” Kelly trailed off, leaving the rest to the audience’s imagination, laughing at the thought of how their kids can’t handle their parents’ bizarre pastime.
The couple has always been known for their candidness and humor about family life, often sharing funny anecdotes about their relationship and parenting.
Kelly, in particular, has regularly talked about how she and Mark have maintained their fun and lively dynamic after more than two decades of marriage, even when it comes to lighthearted and odd hobbies like this one.
As for their children, it’s clear that they haven’t quite come to terms with this particular habit of their parents.
“They’ll never understand,” Mark chimed in with a chuckle, backing up Kelly’s humorous recounting of how their kids respond to the hobby.
Though it’s a mystery exactly what this strange activity is, the way the couple told the story made it clear that whatever it is, it’s harmless and just part of what keeps their relationship fun and spontaneous.
Kelly and Mark’s playful dynamic continues to be a source of entertainment, not just for their fans but also within their own family. Even though their kids might be “terrified” of their hobby, it’s all in good fun, and it’s just another way Kelly and Mark keep the spark alive at home.
