Married stars are just like us!
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos ate their turkey with mashed potatoes and tension this Thanksgiving.
The daytime television couple told all about their family vacation on Monday’s episode of “Live with Kelly & Mark,” in which Ripa told viewers that she and Consuelos had a lot of “arguments” when He said he spent his two-cent on her cooking.
The former soap opera star, 54, shared that “all the kids at home, all the roommates,” referring to her three children: Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 21. “It was great.”
“A lot of fun,” her husband said, “a lot of laughter” before Ripa replied, “a lot of festive debates.”
She said the main argument centered around her mashed potatoes.
“He Show up as an honored guest at Thanksgiving,” she explained, referring to Consuelos, whom she married 28 years ago, adding that he thinks “food just becomes material.”
Ripa further explained that Consuelos had few complaints, despite not cooking the Thanksgiving feast herself.
“They complained to me because there was too much butter in the mashed potatoes,” he said during the broadcast. Consuelos also did not appear at ease on live television.
“Okay, do we want to talk about it, or should we let you say it?” he asked, to which his wife replied, “No, I just put a piece of butter on top, hoping it would melt.”
“Uh huh,” Consuelos prodded. “And did it?”
Ripa continued to debate the issue.
“No, you just picked up your scoop without looking, picked up a piece of butter and put it on your plate and then complained to me,” she claimed.
But the fight didn’t end there as Consuelos admitted to taking a passive-aggressive approach at the dinner table.
According to her, he waited for “7 minutes after dinner” and then showed her his plate which contained “a piece of butter the size of half my hand”.
He told the audience, “And I went to him, ‘Did you put any butter in it?’ And I show her. Only after 28 years of marriage, you could escape by saying, ‘Did you put butter in it?’
Ripa also revealed that buttered potatoes weren’t the only food they fought over over the holiday weekend.
“So after doing nothing all weekend, I thought Mark should take over the pizza oven since he’s actually read the instruction manual and knows how to use the thing. But you became so moody,” she told him.
But he failed to take his wife’s advice on how to cook the pie.
“I said, ‘You have to even-bake them.’ And then after three he’s like, ‘We’re not cooking them right now, this is pointless, we don’t need to do this!'” Ripa shared. “So then Mark did it his way and he. Made what I like to call ‘Soup Pizza.'”
Despite Ripa’s complaints, Consuelos stuck to his pizza.
“No, they were too thin, this year they weren’t sour,” he insisted, while Ripa shared that she threw out two of her pizzas.
“Well two out of 12 ain’t bad,” Consuelos quipped.
