Mark Consuelos 'chose right' when he married Kelly Ripa
Published in Entertainment News
Mark Consuelos thinks he chose the "right" partner in Kelly Ripa.
The loved-up celebrity couple are set to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary next year, and Mark has revealed that they remain as close as they ever have been.
Mark, 54 - who co-hosts Live with his wife - told People: "I've been planning with this lady here since the day I met her and that's part of the beauty, I think, of our relationship is always making plans for what comes next. Some are really exciting, some are a little scary, but that's [life]."
Mark thinks he made a perfect decision when he decided to marry Kelly in Las Vegas in 1996.
The TV star said: "I think you have to choose somebody that you can dream with and I surely chose right."
Asked if he can share any secrets about their anniversary plans, Mark replied: "You'll know when we do it."
Meanwhile, Kelly previously claimed that Mark was "insanely jealous" during the early years of their romance.
The talk-show host admitted that she initially struggled to cope with Mark's jealously.
During an appearance on the Let's Talk Off Camera podcast, Kelly explained: "My biggest complaint about you over the course of our marriage, and this is not recent because it definitely changed ... but you used to be insanely jealous and that was a hard pill to swallow ... It's very hard being married to somebody who is jealous."
Kelly recalled one particular incident that took place shortly after they tied the knot.
During a conversation with Mark, she shared: "It was our first week of marriage, because we didn't take our honeymoon until later. You were working and I went to visit you in Boston.
"We went to this Italian restaurant and the waiter was like a very cute old man, he's definitely in his 70s, if not 80s. He leaned down and he said, 'And for the principessa?'
"I thought it was so cute that this little old man called me a princess, and I looked at him and I gave him my order in a very smiley way. And he walked away and you picked a horrible fight."
