It’s an experience any parent can relate to: Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos‘ kids are “sickened” by them.
On the March 7 episode of “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” the co-anchor revealed that Michael, 24, Lola, 20, and Joaquin, 19, get “grossed out” by her and the “Riverdale” actor — particularly when they’re eating.
“They’re sickened by us,” Ripa told the audience. “And I’m not sure why that is. But they are disgusted by our eating. They make fun of my eating a lot.”
Why?
Well, as Consuelos went on to explain, his wife of more than 25 years does not use utensils to eat. Consuelos, 50, said Ripa, 51, will eat “normal food normally,” however, if something can be consumed with her fingers, she will “put the plate in front of me, and then you’ll go in and grab it and then you stick all three fingers, the tips of all three fingers, into your mouth.”
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ Cutest Family Moments
The “Queen of the South” actor then began to demonstrate how his wife uses her hands to eat by putting his fingers into his mouth. Ripa laughed as she watched her husband’s demonstration. She then asked him to tell the viewers what she typically eats, saying, “It probably is something that is consumed with the fingers if I’m using my fingers?”
Consuelos responded, “Yeah, it can be, but if it’s a piece of cake and there’s a little slice, you’ll grab a little not to have the whole piece. But you go in with the three fingers. I’m surprised you weren’t nursed with the first three fingers of someone’s hand!” Take a look at the video above for the totally relatable parenting moment!
