Kelly Ripa Discusses ‘Gray Divorce’ With Husband Mark Consuelos
There are some things that fans of Live with Kelly and Mark never expect to hear on the morning talk show. One occurred this week when Kelly Ripa brought up the idea of a “gray divorce” with her husband and co-host Mark Consuelos. She found it amusing, but he was clearly uncomfortable.
Here is what happened with Kelly and Mark this week on Live.
Kelly Rips Brings Up Gray Divorce To Mark Consuelos
Last week, on an episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Kelly Ripa brought up an article she was reading. She shared that Mark deemed it was “offensive.” Mark said she came home from a trip and had read an “amazing” article. However, Kelly corrected him and said it was “fascinating” (via E! News).
The article was about “gray divorces.” These are divorces people get in their 50s or later after their kids are grown and have moved out. Kelly added it is part of the empty nest syndrome, which Mark admits is a real thing. According to Kelly, at this point, some people realize they don’t have anything in common with their spouses anymore, so they get divorced.
Mark laughed this off as Kelly teased they “don’t even know each other anymore” despite working together every day on the show. The second thing is that some people won’t accept helping a partner when they become ill in their older age, although Kelly said she would still change Mark’s diapers if the time came.
That is when Kelly dropped the bomb, saying she wanted one based on how smooth and comforting the author’s voice was. However, she admitted that this wasn’t really what she wanted, noting it was dark, no matter how good the author made it sound.
Kelly Ripa & Mark Planning Big Changes
Live with Kelly and Mark is making some big changes in November. Kelly Ripa announced that the show will be making a big move next month, as she and Mark are heading to the West Coast and taking their show with them.
Kelly added that the November episodes will air from Palm Springs, as they will be moving to warmer weather just as the cold weather should be moving into New York City. She revealed tickets are on sale for those show dates at the Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage. The episodes will all be pre-recorded.
This isn’t the only location change. The show will also move permanently to a new studio in 2025. Kelly said she and Mark have been scouting new locations in SoHo.
