Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are apparently keeping it traditional in their home.
On Live with Kelly and Mark on Wednesday, Ripa revealed that they line their vegetable crisper with a row of paper towels in order to prevent mess, which was news to Consuelos.
“Who does?” he asked, as Ripa replied, “We do.”
Consuelos asked, “We do?” and after a burst of laughter admitted that he’s “not usually in the vegetable crisper,” giving Ripa perfect ammunition to take a shot at her husband and co-host.
“Yeah, the food in the house, much like how Santa Claus delivers the presents, just comes to Mark, and he comes down the stairs, in his PJs, and he’s like, ‘Ooh! This is so nice!’” she teased. “Just like you’ve never had air-fried food. His food is almost exclusively air-fried.”
On the importance of cleaning your fridge, Consuelos said he focuses on “the little shelf where the milk cartons and the half and half go on,” which Ripa attributed to him working in a grocery store in high school.
Consuelos explained that the cartons “sometimes leak.” After knowingly asking Consuelos if that’s where he “clean[s] the fridge,” Ripa quipped, “No, we definitely, like, a sexist division of labors in the house.”
Consuelos agreed, “It’s very 1950s.”
While Ripa said she “hate[s] to say that,” she and Consuelos noted how his responsibilities include taking out the garbage and shoveling the snow.
“I watch the landscapers do the lawn,” he joked, highlighting how he “mowed lawns as a kid” and “swore” that once he began making money, he “would never do that again.”
Ripa teased, “And you’ve really held up to your end of the bargain.”
However, Consuelos gushed that he “love[s his] leaf blower” and he power washes in addition to making little fixes around their home. In fact, Ripa said that Consuelos has “morphed into his father.”
“He fixes everything with toothpicks,” she added. “And if we’re at a restaurant and, you know, the table is jiggly, and the waiter comes over with, like, a book of matches to make the table straight, Mark is down there straightening the table with, I — I don’t even know what he is down there doing, but the table has never been as straight as when Mark has straightened it out.”
