LIVE Kelly Ripa Calls Husband ‘Insufferable,’ Demands Divorce
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos share fun banter before welcoming celebrity guests on LIVE with Kelly and Mark. But sometimes, their banter takes a serious turn toward passive-aggressive griping. Kelly Ripa is always reading articles for topics to bring up on the show. The latest was an article on the most difficult zodiac sign to travel with. Before she could even reveal it, Mark Consuelos guessed that it was Aries, which is his sign. His wife is a Libra.
Aries are famously difficult to deal with sometimes, known for their short temper and impatience. “I know an Aries who shall remain nameless that is tough to travel with,” Kelly Ripa joked while rubbing her husband’s shoulders, making it clear exactly who she was referring to.
Before he could protest, she added, “You are fun to travel with on the trip.” However, getting to their destination is difficult. “It’s just the insufferable nature of getting to the trip and coming home from the trip…that makes me not want to take the trip at all,” Kelly Ripa told her husband.
He quickly came to a solution: travel separately. To his surprise, Kelly Ripa jumped at that idea. “Here’s what we’ll do. The next time we travel somewhere, I will just follow you. I’ll let you lead the way,” Mark Consuelos proposed.
Not The First Time Divorce Came Up
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ romance seemed like it came out of a fairytale. They met on the set of All My Children in 1995. They quickly fell in love and eloped to Vegas a year later. The couple raised three children together and are still together 30 years later, despite Kelly Ripa’s obsession with divorce. However, their early relationship wasn’t all roses.
Mark Consuelos revealed in 2025 that they actually broke up a week before their wedding. They reconciled because of LIVE, years before they became co-hosts of the daytime talk show. Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ recent discussion of traveling separately wasn’t a new topic for them.

Kelly Ripa mentioned the trend of an “airport divorce” nearly a year ago. She explained on LIVE in October 2025 that her husband likes to get to the airport hours before the flight, while she takes a more relaxed approach. Clearly, they’re still having trouble traveling together. Maybe they should try Mark Consuelos’ suggestion and travel separately. Share your thoughts on an “airport divorce” in the comments.
