Kelly Ripa Is Still Mad At Her Husband For Getting Super Fit While She Was Pregnant

Ever since Kelly Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, joined her on her daytime talk show, the one hour program has been filled with fun, family energy.

On a recent episode of the show, Ripa remembered when she was pregnant with their first-born, some 27 years ago, Mark decided to get in the best shape of his life.

Let me tell you something. You want to know something really irritating? When I was pregnant, Mark decided he was going to join a gym and hire a trainer. And the more pregnant I got, the fitter he got. I had heard about all of these sympathetic, empathetic husbands that also get pregnant with their wives. And that the wives gain a bunch of weight, which I did, and the husbands gain it along with them and then they have fun taking it off together.

She joked that he turned into “Hercules,” which made her feel some type of way about her body. According to the 53-year-old talk show host, she gained nearly 70 lbs during the pregnancy.

To make it worse, a news site did a story about her at the time, claiming it looked like she had 7 babies in her belly.

He was big, I will hand it to him. But still it was this thing where he said, ‘Here, you shouldn’t feel bad.’ And I go, ‘Did you read the part about her having 7 children?’ But he brought it in with his rippling muscles. He just came from the gym.

These days, they’re both super fit together, so it looks like it all worked out.
