Are Mark Consuelos and wife Kelly Ripa too sexy for Milan, Japan and New York?
The “Riverdale” alum, 52, joked that he and the “Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories” author can’t help it if they’re just too “sexy” for the morning hours.
Ripa, 53, clarified that despite the recent saucy headlines, the couple doesn’t do too many “sexy stories” on their show.
“I think that when we talk about stories in general, like if we talk about them on our show, it gets attributed to us that we’re being sexy,” she told Page Six exclusively at the Paley Center for Media earlier this week.
“We just can’t help it if we’re covering the news of the day … like, if we cover a story about like, ‘Naked Attraction,’ right? People said I was talking about penises. Well, I wasn’t talking about his penis. I was talking about other people’s penises!”
“And, we can’t help it if we’re sexy!” Consuelos jokingly added.
Despite Ripa’s clarification, the pair did get cheeky when talking about Consuelos’ package when chatting about “Naked Attraction” last month.
“I could tell you were starting to feel really good about yourself,” the mom of three said of her husband’s reaction to the series, implying the “Queen of the South” alum was more well-endowed than the participants.
And it seemed that Consuelos agreed with his wife’s glowing assessment.
He simply smiled, neither confirming nor denying Ripa’s naughty remarks.

Since Consulos took over co-hosting duties from Ryan Seacrest in April, the couple have been vocal about their mutual attraction and healthy sex life.
Ripa has gushed about Consuelos’ “really good” penis size. They sheepishly admitted their daughter, Lola, walked in on them having sex and the dad of three has shown off his ripped body, among many other steamy moments.
The pair, who met playing opposite each other on “All My Children,” eloped in 1996 and share three children: sons Michael, 26, and Joaquin, 20, and daughter Lola, 22.
Ripa and Consuelos are now empty-nesters after all of their kids moved out. Despite being the only two left at home and working together daily, they promised that they were not sick of each other.
“We don’t spend as much time together as you would think,” the “Hope & Faith” alum explained. “I mean, I’m grateful that we have our work life in the morning, because, you know, if it wasn’t for those few hours we spend in the mornings.
“We do go great periods of time without seeing each other because we have outside jobs and we have outside things that we do.”
Ripa and Consuelos kicked off the Paley Center for Media’s annual fall festival, PaleyFest NY.
