Kelly Ripa and Victoria Beckham bonded over a mutual pet peeve – a habit their husbands, Mark Consuelos and David Beckham, both share. The fashion designer appeared as a guest on Friday's episode of LIVE with Kelly & Mark to promote her new Netflix documentary. During the interview, Kelly pointed out several amusing similarities between her husband and David. "Our husbands have so much in common and I first noticed it during the Beckham documentary," the host explained in reference to the former footballer's 2023 Netflix series.
"And it really summed it up during your documentary. They have this horrible habit of arriving early at parties. We too arrive before the wait staff," shared Kelly. "I don't like to be late," added Mark. Victoria followed up by asking the Riverdale star what sparked his need to be on time, and he replied: "I don't know. I think it's just the way I was raised: If you're on time, you're late. If you're 15 minutes early, you're on time."
Kelly couldn’t resist playfully teasing her husband about his punctuality. "Well, what if you're 45 minutes early and nobody else is there?" she asked. Mark insisted that had never happened, as Victoria then shared how she and David attended a soccer game "a few months ago" and arrived four hours early. "I mean, thankfully I took a book, right? Because I've learned that he likes to do that. It's crazy," she explained.
Mark defended David, explaining that punctuality is just part of the responsibility that comes with "being an owner of a team," sharing: "You have to be there early. He has things he wants to prepare, he wants to make sure everything's right. I get that."
"But you've gotten to parties before the host arrive, have you not?" Kelly asked the former Spice Girl. "Before the wait staff arrives, Kelly!" replied Victoria, as Mark added: "We've done that. We've showed up [before the wait staff]."
But punctuality isn’t the only thing Mark and David have in common – both were also featured on People magazine’s list of the Sexiest Football Owners Alive. "I am assuming that you voted for my husband as I voted for your husband," said Kelly. "They're in the most consequential election of our time here in the states – People Magazine's Sexiest Football Owner's Alive."
Victoria replied that she "just found out about this" and was excited to go home and "give him that good news" because David "has no idea" he was nominated for the award. "Oh, good. So he hasn't been pushing. He hasn't been pushing the narrative," said Mark. "He hasn't been campaigning," added Kelly.
