“He falls asleep constantly”: Kelly Ripa Revealed Husband Mark Consuelos’ Narcolepsy Risked His Career, Forced Him To Sleep in Awards Shows
The host of Live with Kelly and Ryan, Kelly Ripa is known for being quite open about her private life. She has invited her family members to her talk show and has shared some exclusive information about her husband and her children. Ripa did something similar when she joined Jimmy Kimmel on the popular late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! The talk show host shared that she is surprised by her husband’s ability to fall asleep almost everywhere and how she thinks Mark Consuelos could be diagnosed with the sleep disorder, narcolepsy.
Kelly Ripa Shares Mark Consuelos’ Sleeping Problem
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos met on the set of the American soap opera, All My Children. Soon the two fell in love and decided to spend the rest of their lives with each other. The couple got married in May 1996 and has been inseparable since. And spending more than two decades with each other, the couple has learned a lot about each other.
Ripa shared her husband’s habit during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! While talking about her trip to Turks and Caicos with her family, the Live host shared that while her children enjoyed their time doing fun activities, her husband spent the whole trip sleeping.
“I just sort of laid out and Mark slept the entire time. He slept the entire time he was there,” she shared. When Jimmy Kimmel asked if he is “exhausted in general,” Ripa shared that she wants to name the sleeping disorder on her husband making it “markolepsy” due to his sleeping habits. She also shared the strange places the Riverdale actor has fallen asleep.
Kelly Ripa Says Her Husband Can Sleep Anywhere
When Jimmy Kimmel asked the Live host about the strangest places her husband has fallen asleep, Kelly Ripa had a list for that. She shared that her husband has fallen asleep “at any awards show ever in the history of time.” Ripa also shared that he falls asleep at award shows even when he is nominated for an award.
She then shared an incident that happened when the couple joined the executive producer of Live, Michael Gelman for a dinner party at his home. Ripa said, “We had this very lovely dinner party with a whole group of people, and Mark excused himself and went to the bathroom.”
But when he did not come back for a while, Ripa went to check on her husband worried that “he is horribly sick.” However, when she went to the bathroom, she saw that the door was locked and she could hear snoring through Gelman’s baby monitor.
She then asked Michael Gelman for help. Gelman got the key and saw that “Mark’s asleep and on the floor.” When she asked him what is the problem as he did not drink anything at the time, Consuelos said, “That bath mat looked so cozy.”
Ripa shared that her husband asks her to scratch his head so he does not fall asleep while driving. However, she said that although she thinks Mark Consuelos has a sleeping disorder, he has not been diagnosed with narcolepsy yet.
