Hey there, friends! Let's talk about love, shall we? Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa have been a power couple since they tied the knot back in 1996. In a recent interview with Fox News, Mark opened up about his enduring love for his wife, revealing that after more than two decades, he’s still as smitten as ever. Now, that’s the kind of love story we all want to hear about, right?
From Set to Forever: Mark and Kelly’s Love Story
Mark, now 47, didn’t hold back when it came to gushing about his wife, Kelly, who is 48. “I’m crazy about my wife,” he said with a grin that you could almost hear through the screen. “It’s such a blessing to be married to your best friend. Kelly is more than just my partner; she’s the person I trust the most in this world.” Their love story began on the set of ABC’s All My Children, where they first met, and by 1995, they were dating. That on-screen chemistry clearly translated into real life, and the rest, as they say, is history.
But what’s the secret to their long-lasting relationship? Mark credits their strong family values. “We both come from families where our parents are still together. It’s a beautiful thing to grow up in a home where you see love and commitment every day,” he explained. “Family is the foundation of everything we do, and having that stability has been crucial for us.”

Building a Family Together
Mark and Kelly have built an incredible life together, raising three amazing kids: Michael, 21, Lola, 17, and Joaquin, 15. Parenthood has only strengthened their bond. “Having children changes everything. It bonds you in ways you can’t even imagine. Watching our kids grow up and become these incredible young adults is the greatest gift we could have ever asked for,” Mark shared.
He also praised Kelly’s patience and tolerance, qualities he believes are key to their successful marriage. “She’s one of the most patient people I know. That patience extends not just to me but to our entire family. It’s not always easy, but she makes it look effortless,” he said with admiration. “We’ve been married for over two decades now, and I can honestly say I’m as in love with her today as I was the day we said ‘I do.’”
Facing the Noise Together
Of course, life in the spotlight isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Social media can sometimes be a harsh place, and Kelly has faced her fair share of criticism. But Mark revealed that they don’t let the negativity get to them. “We don’t take anything too seriously. Most people are genuinely kind and supportive, and we choose to focus on that,” he said. “If we do respond to the haters, it’s always with humor. My wife is one of the funniest people I know, and her wit is unmatched.”
In fact, Kelly has famously clapped back at trolls who’ve suggested she’s “too old” for Mark or criticized her for taking vacations from her talk show, Live with Kelly and Ryan. Mark couldn’t be prouder of how she handles herself. “She doesn’t let anyone bring her down. She knows who she is and what she stands for, and that’s something I deeply admire about her,” he added.

Their love story is a testament to the power of partnership, family, and unwavering devotion.
