Kelly Ripa confirmed...see more
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos had such a whirlwind romance at the start of their relationship that they didn’t have one major thing worked out before they tied the knot — where to live.
At the top of Live With Kelly and Mark‘s Friday, November 14, episode, the cohosts got candid about their own relationship while discussing a report claiming that married couples who dated for three years or more are less likely to get a divorce.
“‘Dating longer can give you more data on a partner.’ I got my data pretty quickly,” Consuelos quipped, to which Ripa replied, “We didn’t have that much data. We were so young when we got married.”
While the two only met one year before they tied the knot in 1996, Consuelos credits playing love interests on the soap opera All My Children with helping him and Ripa form a strong connection in a short amount of time.
“It was double the time, long hours. I got to see how you dealt with pressure and long hours,” Consuelos explained. Ripa, for her part, added, “I feel that you get a pretty good glimmer into a person when you are one-on-one with them for any prolonged period of time.”
Contrary to how the report suggested that couples date for several years before marriage, Ripa said she’s happy with the way her and Consuelos’ relationship played out. Reflecting on their history together, Ripa revealed that she and Consuelos technically didn’t live together during their early days as husband and wife.
“We eloped. And so, we still had two separate apartments,” Ripa told viewers. “We still had separate apartments because we didn’t plan the wedding, obviously, and then, we had two leases, and they didn’t expire anytime soon,” she told viewers. “So, during the work week, we would stay at my apartment. And then, we would go to Mark’s ‘country estate’ on the Lower East Side for the weekends. We were like, ‘Let’s head down to the country,’ and then we would go to the Lower East Side.”
Consuelos agreed with Ripa’s assessment of their relationship, stating that he has “no regrets” about their past decisions.
Ripa and Consuelos briefly split before rekindling their romance and saying “I do.” One year after their Las Vegas wedding, the pair welcomed their eldest son, Michael. Their family continued to grow with the births of their daughter, Lola, and youngest son, Joaquin, in 2001 and 2003, respectively.
The duo celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary earlier this year. “Italian Renaissance. Amore eterno
Jamie Lee Curtis Gives Brutal Five-Word Response To Liam Neeson And Pamela Anderson's Relationship
Jamie Lee Curtis had some stern words for people who have been speculating about whether Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are an item.
The actress, 66, admitted that although she's rooting for the romance herself, she thinks that people seriously need to stop putting pressure on The Naked Gun co-stars.
She urged excited fans to ease up on gossiping about the pair, saying: "Leave them the f**k alone!"
Loads of people seem to think that Anderson and Neeson's chemistry isn't just exclusively on-screen, as it has been reported that they are both 'smitten' with each other.
They met for the first time on set of

Following the tragic death of his wife Natasha Richardson in 2009, which came after she suffered a catastrophic head injury while skiing, Neeson has steered clear of romance.
When asked whether he dates in October last year, the 73-year-old said: "No, in a word. I’m past all that."
But it seems Anderson might have changed his mind... however, her
When asked what she thinks of the pair getting together, the Freaky Friday actress told VT: "With all due respect to pop culture, if love has found its way into that relationship, God bless them both.
"Leave them the f**k alone! And let them like each other, because both of them have had hardship, and they're both beautiful humans...[it] makes me cry."
As she grew emotional while discussing Neeson and Anderson, Curtis continued: "They’re beautiful human beings, and if they have actually found an intimate love with each other, we should all go to bed tonight feeling better.
"And [Neeson] also suffered an unimaginable loss, so young and, you know, he's had a really hard go of it.
"So if, in fact, these people have 'hard-launched', then wish them the best and leave them alone."
Andy Cohen, a close pal of Neeson's former wife Richardson, gave the couple his blessing and said their friends are all 'very much stanning whatever this is'.
The Bravo host said he noticed a lot of similarities between the late actress and Anderson, describing them both as 'independent' women.
It seems like literally everyone is on board with Anderson and Neeson becoming Hollywood's next power couple - but we all need to take our enthusiasm down a notch, under Curtis' orders.
