Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Conselous have never been shy about sharing intimate details about their lives - whether about their sex lives or lack thereof - but don't worry about their kids' embarrassment because they've blocked out the news. Literally.
"I'm pretty sure they've blocked us," Kelly exclusively told E! News when asked about any fears they have about sons Michael, 25, and Joaquin, 20, and daughter Lola, 21, reading the remarks.
"When you have a news feed and it says ‘Suggest more or suggest this, like this or block this channel,' I'm certain they have blocked any channel with any mention of our names. Just like they block us on social media. They block us any way they can," Kelly added, calling the move "self-preservation" on her childrens part.

The actress had starred on the show as fan favorite Hayley Vaughan for almost seven years prior to Mark's arrival in 1995. The purpose of the auditions was to find a love interest for Kelly's character, but when Mark arrived in the casting room, it was love at first sight not only for Hayley, but for Kelly too.
The couple, who have now been together for nearly 30 years, have candidly discussed their sex life, most recently on Kelly's new podcast Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, including how they navigated long periods of separation during Mark's time filming Riverdale in 2020.
Kelly, 52, revealed that they engaged in "sexual rituals" over FaceTime during the ten months her husband was away, describing the virtual dates as "ludicrous". The Live! host also admitted she got "really close to [herself]" during these encounters.

Kelly and Mark tied the knot in May 1996 after less than one year of dating.

Meanwhile, Lola is an aspiring singer currently spending some time abroad in London.
Their youngest son Joaquin is studying at the University of Michigan, where he has also wowed fans with the muscular physique he has built up for wrestling.
