Kelly Ripa Floats 'Airport Divorce' on Live, Trading Barbs With Mark Consuelos

The married cohosts of nearly three decades described the exchange as playful, with no sign of an actual split.

Overview

  • On the Oct. 22 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa suggested trying an “airport divorce,” a trend where couples split up at the airport and reunite at the gate.
  • Ripa joked that Consuelos insists on arriving “four to 16 hours” early, while he countered that he typically gets to the airport about 90 minutes to two hours before flights.
  • She recounted a recent trip when his TSA PreCheck had lapsed, saying she waited in the slower line and he grew irritated, which he disputed as an unfair characterization.
  • Consuelos pushed back on claims that he gets annoyed with fans and said, “I’m irritated with you right now for trying to throw me under the bus,” as the audience reacted.
  • The back-and-forth continued later in the show, including a light quarrel over car washing, with Consuelos summing it up by saying, “We’re having a day today.”
